New Delhi: In a bizarre case of domestic violence, a 28-year-old woman was allegedly forced to drink acid by her in-laws.Radhika, a Delhi-based housewife, was admitted to Apollo Hospital on Tuesday evening in a serious condition. While her parents allege her in-laws made her drink acid, Radhika has denied the charge.She has told the police that she consumed acid by accident. Her parents say Radhika's in-laws had been making demands for dowry since her marriage seven years ago.
They also complained that the guards at the Apollo Hospital did not allow them to meet her. Radhika's condition is reported to be stable.
“My sister called the day before. She was being tortured by her in-laws. We had given them a Santro in dowry," says Radhika's brother Deepak Mehta.
PTI quotes a senior police official as saying a call was received at Sarita Vihar Police Station around 1915 hrs (IST) from a hospital official informing them of the incident.
However, no criminal case was registered in the matter as Radhika gave a statement that she drank the acid inadvertently, the official said.
