In the video, the woman, a housewife, alleged that her husband,a labourer, had been tormenting not only her but other women as well. “I am dying. My husband is responsible for this. He harasses all girls like me and extorts money…I am going to die and kill my two children. My parents are not responsible for this. I was supposed to get a divorce, but people did not allow me to do it,” she said.
