Muzaffarnagar, June 25: In a shocking case from Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar, a 32-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly murdering her husband after enduring years of sexual exploitation at his hands. Police say the woman strangled her husband, Salman Ahmed (35), using a scarf after drugging him with sleeping pills mixed into a soft drink.

The couple, married for six years and parents to a four-year-old child, had been living in Muzaffarnagar. According to investigators, the woman was allegedly forced by Salman into sex work, serving wealthy clients across Delhi-NCR for nearly three years. Police also revealed that Salman filmed several of these encounters without her consent and sold the explicit videos online to make money. Sex in Jaipur Hotel Room Sparks Traffic Jam As Crowd Gathers To Watch Act From Nearby Flyover; Video Goes Viral.

Initially, the wife claimed Salman had died by suicide, but the postmortem report revealed signs of strangulation, contradicting her version. She later confessed, telling the police that the years of abuse, humiliation, and being forced into having sexual relations with over 20 men pushed her to the breaking point. Kanpur Shocker: Man Installs Camera in Bedroom To Record Wife’s Explicit Videos, Forces Her Into Unnatural Sex; Case Registered.
