History of Financial Friction and Domestic Violence

According to the woman’s family, Renu had been married for around 14 years and had two minor sons, aged 10 and 12, Hindustan Times reported. Her husband works at a private firm and allegedly did not provide enough money for household expenses.

The family said the couple frequently fought over financial issues and that the husband had allegedly subjected Renu to domestic violence. They said the latest dispute on Sunday happened because of a delay in paying their children’s school fees for the past 4-5 months.

“About 15 days ago, there was another dispute, after which her husband’s family assured us that there will be no domestic violence. Four days before the incident, her brother was supposed to visit her, but she asked him not to come after another incident of violence,” said Sonu Singh, Renu’s maternal uncle.

Singh alleged that after beating Renu severely, her husband called her cousin, who works in Delhi, and told him that she was seriously injured. “He said he had severely beaten his wife and asked us to come to Ghaziabad and take her. The call was recorded and we will hand it over to the police,” added Singh.

Police said the husband and his family are absconding and have fled after locking the house. Dedicated police search teams have been deployed across adjacent areas to track down the fleeing suspects, while forensic units examine the locked house for additional physical evidence.
