The Story in Brief
An FIR has been registered against a man, his mother and his elder brother after his wife alleged she was brutally assaulted during pregnancy, leading to a miscarriage and abandonment on a roadside. The case was filed Wednesday at Gopiganj police station in Bhadohi district on a complaint by 26-year-old Sapna Saroj. She accuses husband Rakesh Kumar Saroj, mother-in-law Rita Devi and brother-in-law Brijesh Kumar Saroj of assault on the night of August 10 while she was two months pregnant. She says she was left unconscious and bleeding near Gosai Bazar around 4 am. Passersby alerted her family, who took her to the district hospital. The police have registered charges under five sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including assault and criminal intimidation. Superintendent of Police Abhinav Tyagi said Rakesh had allegedly doubted his wife's character and harassed her for five years, refusing to accept their two children and the unborn child as his. The brother-in-law is accused of threatening to kill her if she reported the matter, Hindustan Times reports.
The Indian Opinion
Two lazy narratives are already fighting over this case: one that says all such complaints are false and weaponised, another that assumes the accused are guilty before trial. Neither helps. Five years of alleged harassment and a roadside abandonment demand serious investigation, not knee-jerk opinions. The police will need to produce forensic evidence from the alleged assault and the miscarriage, and establish whose phone records place whom where. Until then, every claim and counterclaim is just noise. Does the hospital have a record of the injuries and the miscarriage? That is the fact that will settle this.
