MEERUT: A woman allegedly threatened to cut her husband into pieces and seal him in a drum if he did not change his alcoholic behavior, the victim told the police on Monday.
The incident was reported from Kanker Khera region of Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut.
According to police, the husband is said to be an alcoholic. The chilling threat, seemingly inspired by a recent high-profile murder case in the Brahmpuri region, has left the husband stunned.
A video of the victim, Bablu Kumar, surfaced in which he can be seen saying, “I woke up late in the morning, and she threatened to hit me with a brick. After this, she threw a brick at me, hitting my head and leaving me injured.”
He added, “My wife said that she would chop me into pieces and seal me in a drum. When I left home to complain to the police, she reached there before me, and no one paid heed to my grievances.”
SHO Kanker Khera Vinay Kumar told TOI, “We have conducted a medical examination of the victim. He did not file any complaint and left after reaching a compromise.”
Notably, the couple, married for five years with two children, allegedly had frequent altercations due to the husband’s alcoholic behavior. On Sunday night, the husband returned home intoxicated, triggering an argument between them, during which the wife allegedly bit his hand.
The next morning, she hit him on the head with a brick, causing injuries. The husband later reached the police station with his father, showing visible wounds. His wife accused him of squandering money on alcohol and neglecting household expenses
