Ahmedabad Woman Files Police Complaint After Alleged Assault by Husband and Partner
A 34-year-old woman in Ahmedabad has lodged a formal complaint with the Gujarat University police, accusing her husband and another woman of physically assaulting her during a confrontation linked to an alleged extramarital affair. The incident, which occurred on Saturday morning, has sparked an investigation into charges of assault and criminal intimidation.
Background of Marital Discord and Separation
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the complainant has been living separately from her husband for the past two months. She resides in a paying guest accommodation in the Ambawadi area of Ahmedabad, following prolonged marital discord. The couple's marriage was solemnized in 2011, and they have two sons, aged 13 and five, who are currently staying with family members in Vejalpur.
The woman has also initiated divorce proceedings in a family court, citing ongoing issues in the relationship. She stated that her husband had reportedly been involved in a relationship with another woman for several years, which led to frequent arguments and ultimately her decision to move out. Despite the separation, disputes between the parties allegedly continued, escalating tensions.
Details of the Alleged Assault Incident
On Saturday around 10:15 AM, the husband allegedly arrived at her paying guest accommodation along with the woman he is said to be involved with. He called her outside, where the duo reportedly confronted her over her refusal to return home, triggering a verbal altercation.
When the complainant declined to engage further, both individuals allegedly began abusing her verbally. The situation quickly deteriorated, with the husband allegedly assaulting her by slapping her several times, including near her ear, while the other woman continued to hurl abuses.
Intervention and Police Action
Hearing her cries for help, a friend intervened and immediately alerted the police control room. Sensing that the situation was escalating, the two accused allegedly fled the spot, but not before threatening her with serious consequences if she interfered in their relationship again.
The complainant later approached the police station to file a formal complaint. She was referred for a medical examination to document any injuries sustained during the assault. Based on her statement and evidence, the police have registered a case under relevant sections for assault and criminal intimidation.
