Police say the man remains in Safdarjung Hospital’s ICU as investigators gather forensic evidence and plan to record the couple’s minor daughter’s statement.

Overview

  • An FIR at Ambedkar Nagar police station names sections 118, 124 and 326 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the wife.
  • The incident occurred around 3–3:15 am in the Madangir flat, and neighbours forced the door and helped get the victim to hospital.
  • In his complaint, the husband alleges his wife poured hot oil on him and then threw red chilli powder, with the MLC noting dangerous scald burns.
  • Police say no arrest has been made and both the Crime Team and the Forensic Science Laboratory have been called to examine the scene.
