A 19-year-old woman from Tripura has given a harrowing account of violence at the hands of her live-in partner in Gurugram, telling police that he poured sanitiser on her private parts and set it on fire. She alleged that the accused, Shivam (19), then struck her on the head with a metal bottle, smashed it against household furniture, and went on to attack her with a knife.
In her statement to the Gurugram Police, the woman alleged that the violence continued for three consecutive days and that her partner forced physical relations on her on the pretext of marriage.
