A 29-year-old man from Ahmedabad submitted an application to the police alleging that his ‘alcoholic’ wife tortures him physically and mentally. The applicant has asked the police to provide him protection, an official said.
The applicant stated that he tied the knot with the woman in March 2018, however, he learned about her addiction to alcohol only after their marriage.

The man claimed that his wife pressurized him to leave the house of his elderly parents for staying with her separately. In June, his parents contracted the coronavirus, following which he returned to their house in order to look after their health. Subsequently, his wife shifted to the first floor of the house but never helped in taking care of diseased parents. Instead, she demanded that the ownership of the house be transferred to her.

She threatened to end her life if they didn’t fulfil her demand.

Then on September 11, 2020, she lodged a complaint against them accusing them of subjecting her to cruelty. The man said that she still lives on the house’s first floor, thrashes him after consuming liquor and then dials women’s helpline to make false allegations against him.

Therefore, he has sought police protection for his and his parents’ safety. Khokhra police station inspector YS Gamit said they will take action after verifying the details mentioned in the application.
