A 30-year-old female in Gujarat, Mehsana district, was severely burnt by her sister in law and three others who are reported to have coerced her into dipping her hands in a pot of boiling oil to test her fidelity, according to the police on Friday.
Although the incident occurred in Gerita village of Vijapur taluka on September 16, three days later, a video drew virality in the social media.
According to what the woman complained, Vijapur police created a First Information Report against Jamuna Thakor the sister of Jamuna and his husband Manubhai Thakor and two others, said Deputy Superintendent of Police, Dineshsinh Chauhan.
He said that the woman is being treated in a hospital in Vijapur and the accused are on the run.
In the video, the victim was being forced by a woman and three other people to put her hands in a boiling oil pot. She is observed dipping her fingers but soon withdrawing them as a result of being burnt.
The sister-in-law of the victim was suspecting that the victim was disloyal to her husband. So Jamuna with her husband and two other men resolved to put her through the ordeal. They informed her that she would not receive burns in case she were a loyal wife, said Chauhan.
Measures were in progress of nabbing the accused, he added.
