Rashmi Rajput, a resident of Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, experienced a horrific ordeal when her husband, Raju Rajput, allegedly tried to set her on fire after a day of physical abuse. After narrowly escaping, she managed to reach the police station the following morning to report her husband's actions. The police, upon understanding the severity of her injuries, admitted her to the district hospital and initiated an investigation into the matter.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Rashmi had suffered severe abuse from her husband throughout the day leading up to the incident, where he reportedly attempted to hang her before committing the attempted arson. Subsequently, her husband chased after her as she fled to safety and hid in a corner of their home. However, in a shocking twist, while receiving treatment, she later stated that she did not want to pursue any actions against him, raising concerns about the complexities of domestic abuse cases in such situations.

This case highlights the vulnerabilities faced by domestic abuse survivors, particularly in contexts where victims may feel pressured to reconcile with their abusers for various reasons, including fear of further repercussions or societal implications. As law enforcement continues to investigate, this situation poses significant questions about victim support and the systemic issues that perpetuate such cycles of violence in households.
