Pune Horror: Man Kicks and Punches Wife, Pours Acid on Her Private Parts Over Suspicion of Extramarital Affair and Failure To Give Birth to Son
A Pune man faces criminal charges after allegedly attacking his wife with toilet-cleaning acid on her private parts and beating her over suspicions of an affair and a failure to bear a son. The suspect locked the victim inside their home for 15 days without medical care until she escaped to her maternal home to report the abuse.
Police in Maharashtra's Pune have registered a criminal case against a local resident following a severe domestic assault in which he allegedly poured toilet-cleaning acid onto his wife's private parts, heavily battered her, and locked her inside their home without medical treatment for over two weeks. The Uruli Kanchan Police Station initiated legal proceedings against the accused over the weekend after the victim managed to escape to her parental home to report the extensive abuse.
Allege Intoxication, Gender Disappointment and Extramarital Suspicion
The initial assault took place on the evening of April 20 at the couple's residence. According to police reports, the suspect arrived home heavily intoxicated and initiated a violent confrontation fueled by anger over his wife giving birth to two daughters rather than a male heir, alongside unverified suspicions of an extramarital affair.

According to the victim's formal statement, the suspect aggressively questioned her fidelity before launching a physical assault. "When you go out for work, tell me with whom are you having an affair with outside?" the suspect allegedly demanded while launching a relentless barrage of punches and kicks.
The Attack and Forced Confinement
As the physical altercation escalated, the suspect threatened to kill the woman before retrieving a bottle of commercial toilet-cleaning acid from the bathroom. He then proceeded to intentionally pour the corrosive substance directly onto her private parts. Despite the victim's screams of intense pain and attempts to flee the structure to secure emergency medical help, the suspect locked the front door from the inside and continued to kick and punch her. The victim's sister-in-law arrived at the property upon hearing the disturbance and alerted the suspect's parents. Before briefly fleeing the residence that day, the suspect issued a final warning, threatening to kill the victim if she disclosed the origin of her injuries to anyone.
Escape and Institutional Intervention
The victim remained confined inside her home under immense distress, with her severe chemical burns left entirely untreated for 15 days. Her opportunity to escape arose on May 9, when she managed to take her two daughters and flee to her maternal home while her husband was away at work. Upon seeing her physical condition and hearing her recount the weeks of torture, the victim's family escorted her to the local police station to file a formal complaint on May 15. Authorities immediately transferred the woman to Pune's Sassoon General Hospital, where she remains admitted under specialised medical evaluation for her burn injuries.
