A 30-year-old Nepali national was arrested in Maharashtra's Pimpri-Chinchwad after he allegedly assaulted his 28-year-old wife, police said. The accused pierced her private parts with a sharp blade, inserted two iron nails and put up a brass lock there.

The incident occurred on May 11 when the man thrashed his wife, also a Nepali, after he suspected her of having an affair with someone, and tied her hands and feet with a cloak. The accused then took a sharp blade and cut two holes in her private parts, put iron nails and affixed the lock on it.

As her husband continued with his brazen assault, the woman screamed for help and writhed in pain as she lay on the floor bleeding. The woman was rushed to a hospital where she is currently undergoing medical treatment.

Despite the woman suffering grievous injuries, she later filed a complaint at the police station.

The husband works as a watchman while the woman is a homemaker.

A case was registered against the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including sections 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 506(2) (criminal intimidation), and 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt).

The police condemned the brutality meted out to the woman and said strict action would be taken against her husband.
