A shocking case of domestic violence has emerged from Bengaluru where a woman died nine months after her husband allegedly injected her with mercury. The victim had repeatedly reported being harassed, humiliated, and neglected by both her husband and father-in-law throughout her marriage.
Years of Abuse and Torment
The woman described a life of constant misery where she was frequently called 'mad' by her family members. Her husband maintained extreme control over her movements by keeping her locked inside their house in Attibele, preventing her from seeking help or escaping the abusive situation.
The Fatal Mercury Injection
The tragedy reached its peak when the woman's husband allegedly administered a mercury injection that ultimately led to her death nine months later. Medical authorities confirmed the presence of the toxic substance in her system, though the exact motivation behind the injection remains under investigation.
Official Response and Investigation
Local authorities in Bengaluru have launched a comprehensive investigation into the case. The incident was officially reported on November 26, 2025, according to police records. Law enforcement is treating this as a serious criminal matter that highlights the extreme forms domestic violence can take.
The case has drawn attention to the need for better protection mechanisms for victims of domestic abuse in Karnataka. Community members and women's rights organizations are calling for stricter enforcement of existing laws and more accessible support systems for those trapped in abusive relationships.
