New Delhi [India], July 12 (ANI): Delhi's Tis Hazari Court has granted bail to a woman accused of pouring hot water mixed with chilli powder on her husband to kill him.

This case pertains to an FIR registered at Nangloi Police Station. A charge sheet has been filed after an investigation.

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Saurabh Kulshrestha granted bail to the accused Jyoti alias Kittu after considering that, as per MLC, the victim has suffered simple injuries.

'Insofar as the issue regarding threats to the victim and the witnesses is concerned, the same can be taken care of by imposing appropriate conditions, the court said.

'Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the applicant or accused Jyoti alias Kittu is ordered to be admitted to regular bail on furnishing a bail bond in the sum of Rs 30,000 with one surety in the like amount,' said ASJ Kulshrestha on July 9.

It is alleged that on 01.01.2025, the accused, who was to kill her husband, had poured boiling water mixed with red chilli powder on the face, mouth and chest of the victim. When she was questioned by him, she stated 'tujhe to jaan se marna hi hai' (I want to kill you).

Thereafter, the accused bolted the door of the room from outside and fled from there after taking the victim's mobile phone so that he could not call anyone for help.

The victim broke down the window, stepped onto the balcony and screamed for help. Afterwards, his landlord, Vikas, came there, and the victim was taken to the hospital.

Counsel for the accused, while arguing for bail, submitted that the accused had been falsely implicated and she had been a victim of domestic violence at the hands of the accused, and she had earlier also filed a complaint against him on November 19, 2024.

On the other hand, while opposing the bail plea, the counsel for the complainant stated that immediately prior to the incident, the complainant had made a police complaint against the accused.

It was further stated that the applicant or accused was earlier married and had taken a divorce, and has a daughter from a previous marriage. This fact was not disclosed to the complainant before his marriage to the accused. (ANI)
