As per reports, the women forced her husband to play online Ludo on the phone to avoid boredom. He agreed, but when his wife won from him consistently, he beat her up.
The woman had to be hospitalized, and she is not fine now. Moreover, she decided to go to her parent’s home after receiving treatment.
The members of Abhayam, a women helpline launched by the Gujarat government, counsel the man.
The counsellor said:
“A sore loser, he started arguing with his wife, and the verbal duel turned ugly. He started beating her with such ferocity that the woman developed a gap between two of her vertebrae. His ego was hurt, thinking that the wife outsmarted him and was more intelligent as she also contributed to the family income.”
Netizens are shocked by this brutal incident and the fact that man was just counselled. There is no strict police action taken against the man.
