As per the allegations in the complaint lodged by the woman, she was subject to digital sexual assault using an alcohol bottle.

The husband is an ENT surgeon and the two were married on April 27 this year in Pune. The man and his father, who claimed to be an ex-Army officer, allegedly started physically assaulting her for not paying enough for the wedding and not giving enough dowry.

When the couple moved to Gujarat, where the doctor works, the in-laws threw her out for not bringing money from her parents. She managed to reach Pune and lodged a complaint, according to her lawyers Pushkar Patil and Sajan Mahbubani.

A case was registered under Sections 498(a), 376, 377, 341, 323, 506, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code at Wanowrie police station. The case has now been transferred to the appropriate police station in Madhya Pradesh.
