The Delhi Commission for Women rescued a 32-year-old woman from Delhi's Trilokpuri area on Tuesday. The woman was held captive and bound down by iron chains by her husband in her own house. The Commission's Mahila Panchayat team got a tip-off from a ground volunteer who informed the Commission that the woman has been chained and was living in a miserable condition in the Trilokpuri area.
DCW members Firdos Khan and Kiran Negi escalated the matter to the Commission's chairperson Swati Maliwal, who immediately visited the given location along with them. The team immediately reached the spot and saw that the woman was lying on the floor with her feet bound down by iron chains. She was living in squalor with her clothes torn and tattered.
The team talked to her and learnt that she had been married for the past 11 years and had three children from her marriage. The victim said that her husband used to beat her brutally and she had been tied up in chains since the past six months. The room in which she was kept had no fans and had a terrible smell as she was made to lie in her own excreta. She was tortured and beaten so brutally that it took a toll on her mental health.
Upon investigation, it was found that the victim's husband owns a flour mill. The woman's children also confirmed that their father beat them and their mother often.
