A man was arrested in Chhattisgarh's Korea district for assaulting his wife, shaving her head and forcing her to drink urine after videos of the incident surfaced on social media.
The incident took place on June 14 in Pandopara village and a first information report (FIR) was registered after the videos came to light.
The woman, in her mid-30s, had lodged a complaint on June 15 alleging that her husband, identified as Jitendra Ghasiya, assaulted her under the influence of alcohol.
According to officials, the woman had not disclosed the full details of the incident in her initial complaint.
After the videos surfaced on social media highlighting the extent of the alleged abuse, Section 123 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which relates to administering a harmful, intoxicating or stupefying substance with intent to cause harm, was added to the case.
The woman alleged that her husband suspected infidelity and had abandoned her about a year ago, following which she began living with an acquaintance.
