At around 12 pm on May 16, Nitya, 32, ran from her in-laws’ house in Northwest Delhi’s Rohini area. “The moment I got a chance, I took my son’s hand and ran," she said. "I couldn’t take it anymore."
As soon as she reached her parents’ house, a few kilometres away, she went to the Begumpur police station and alleged that she had been raped repeatedly over the last two years at her in-laws. Based on her complaint, an FIR was lodged against her husband, brother-in-law, father-in-law and mother-in-law under penal code sections related to rape, unnatural sex, and causing harm.
