The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Jalaun Shailendra Bajpai said that the accused, Ravindra, Manmohan, and Manmohan's son Aadesh reached the couple's house and hurled abuses against their uncle.

When Sandeep objected, the accused began attacking him and her wife attempted to intervene. However, the accused reportedly abused and thrashed the pregnant woman. Due to the attack, Upasana fainted and fell to the ground and her husband raised an alarm.

The former in-laws also chopped the woman's hair. The woman was identified as Bhanu Sadhamiya, the mother of four children.

The incident was caught on camera and went viral on social media.

The woman's husband had passed away four years ago in a road accident. Sadhamiya got married to another man around a year ago.

She visited her former sister-in-law Ghugha Hikabhai who hurled expletives at her. This lead to an argument and Hikabhai's husband and another former sister-in-law Chaku Charoliya chopped her hair.
