'Set Fire to Private Parts...', A Young Woman's Account of Brutality in Gurugram
A 19-year-old woman in Gurugram recounts horrific abuse by her partner who allegedly set her private parts on fire and assaulted her over suspicions of infidelity.
A shocking incident of domestic violence has emerged from Gurugram, where a 19-year-old woman has accused her partner of severe physical abuse based on his suspicions regarding her character. The woman, who is originally from Tripura, detailed a series of horrifying assaults that culminated in her partner allegedly setting her private parts on fire with sanitizer. This act follows a pattern of physical violence that included severe beatings, where she was reportedly struck with a metal bottle and thrown against furniture, leaving her in critical condition and necessitating hospitalization.
The young woman recounted how their relationship began through an online dating app in September 2025, leading them to cohabitate shortly thereafter. However, the relationship quickly devolved into violence, with the accusations including repeated threats and lasting physical harm. In her statement to the Gurugram police, she further indicated that the abuse spanned three days and included attempts on her life with a knife, as well as coerced sexual relations under the guise of a promise of marriage.
The case has prompted strong reactions and has led the Gurugram police to file charges under several sections of the Indian Penal Code related to inflicting bodily harm with dangerous weapons, raising awareness about the rising incidents of domestic violence in India. This incident underlines the urgent need for more effective measures to protect victims and deter offenders in domestic violence situations.
