Mumbra Shocker: Pregnant Woman Dies After Being Kicked in Abdomen Over Abortion Dispute
A pregnant woman died in Thane's Mumbra after being kicked in the abdomen by her husband and mother-in-law on June 10. The assault followed disputes over mortgaged jewelry and her refusal to get an abortion. Mumbra police registered a culpable homicide FIR against the accused on June 20, and an active investigation is underway.
A pregnant woman has died in Maharashtra’s Thane district after her husband and mother-in-law allegedly kicked her in the abdomen during a domestic dispute. The incident, which took place in the Mumbra locality, reportedly stemmed from family disagreements over financial matters and the victim's refusal to undergo an abortion. Local authorities confirmed on Monday that a formal criminal case has been registered against both accused individuals.
Disputes Over Jewellery and Refusal of Abortion
According to the Mumbra police department, the victim faced persistent domestic disputes with her husband and mother-in-law. Investigators revealed that the family was deeply unsettled by two primary issues: the victim's inability to recover mortgaged family jewellery and her firm refusal to terminate her pregnancy.

A police official said that the family reportedly did not want the child and had pressured her to undergo an abortion. The tensions escalated into physical violence at their residence, during which the husband and mother-in-law allegedly assaulted the woman and repeatedly kicked her in the abdomen, completely disregarding her pregnancy.
Delayed FIR and Ongoing Investigation
Following the assault, the severely injured woman was rushed to a nearby medical facility for emergency care. Despite ongoing treatment by medical professionals, she ultimately succumbed to her internal injuries. Based on a formal complaint subsequently lodged by the deceased woman's mother, the Mumbra police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused duo. While the physical altercation took place on June 10, the official criminal case was formally filed on June 20 after initial medical evaluations and preliminary statements were processed.
