A tragic incident has occurred in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, involving the death of a married woman named Chetna, who reportedly died after being electrocuted by her husband, Umakant Shukla. The couple, married since 2014 and parents to a six-year-old son, faced ongoing domestic strife, according to family members. The allegations suggest that Umakant had been torturing Chetna since their marriage, culminating in this horrific act following disputes about his extramarital connections.

Chetna's family has accused Umakant of having a long-standing illicit relationship with a school colleague from the Jamon block. Chetna's objections to this relationship were known to her family, who supported her stance against her husband’s infidelity. Tragically, it is alleged that when she confronted him about the affair, Umakant responded with lethal violence, using electric shock as a means to punish her for her dissent.

This case has raised significant concerns regarding domestic violence and the rights of women in India, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of laws against domestic abuse and better support systems for victims. The local police have reported that they have registered a case against Umakant and two other accomplices, and an investigation is underway, drawing attention to the plight of women facing similar situations throughout the country.
