Sohan Lal

 

The gory tale of a mechanic in Indore who pierced the genitals of his wife with a sharp instrument and inserted a lock there in order to prevent her from having an affair is such a barbaric act that it belies the fact that we're living in the 21st century. The mechanic Sohan Lal was arrested on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when the woman consumed poison and was admitted to a Hospital for treatment late on Monday night. She took poison when her husband Sohan got her drunk so that he could rape his elder daughter. During the treatment, the doctors were horrified when they found a lock in her genitals. They noticed it when they were trying to insert a tube to discharge the poison. They informed the police about the incident.

Later, in her complaint, the victim said that Sohan, a resident of Musakhedi in the city, locked her in a room in the night in 2008 and pierced her genitals with a spiky instrument when she was sleeping. The victim said that she was married to Sohan when she was 16-years-old and since then her husband has been torturing her some way or the other. She said that her husband was now trying to rape their elder daughter. After drinking poison, the woman informed her sister about it. Her sister's son admitted her to the hospital and it led to the unfolding of the entire act. Police arrested the accused and registered an offence under Sections 326 and 498 A of the IPC. MY Hospital superintendent V S Bhatia said that the condition of the woman was under control. The head of crime against women cell, additional director general (ADG) of police, Aruna Mohan Rao told TOI, "The process to appoint women protection officers is still underway and it is likely to be completed within the next few months. There is no women protection officer in Bhopal as of now", she added.
