A woman residing in Bengaluru's Bismillahnagar, Sadduguntepalya, lodged a complaint this Thursday, alleging her husband threatened her with a pistol and assaulted her. She claims he coerced her into filing a false gang-rape accusation against his adversaries. Zaara Ameena named her husband, Muheez Ahmad, in her statement to the Sadduguntepalya police.
According to Zaara's complaint, Muheez Ahmad has subjected her to persistent physical and mental torment, along with threats of death if she defied his commands. He reportedly insisted she visit the Ashok Nagar police station to report a fabricated gang-rape by his rivals.
The couple married in 2017, but Zaara recounted that her ordeal began even before their wedding when she was a minor. Her family faced significant financial hardship, with her father under debt. Muheez Ahmad allegedly offered financial assistance and a job, which Zaara describes as the onset of her "torture." Since their marriage, the harassment has only intensified. For the past year, she claims, Muheez Ahmad has subjected her to suspicion and physical assaults. "Last month, he threatened me with a pistol and assaulted me," Zaara stated in her complaint, adding that he abuses and beats her almost daily.
She further alleged that her husband is now compelling her to divorce him so he can marry for a third time. He threatens to kill her if she does not agree to his demands and make the false gang-rape statement. Even while she remained at her residence, he allegedly continued to visit with a gun, subjecting her to physical abuse and intimidation.
Zaara's mother, Sameena, shed light on their family's struggles following her husband's death, leaving her with three unemployed children. Community elders had advised Zaara's marriage to Muheez Ahmad. Sameena mentioned that Muheez Ahmad has been quarrelling with their family and filing complaints for nearly ten years. The accused also allegedly fought with the family over his wife's property and assaulted Zaara, and is accused of locking up his brother-in-law during a dispute.
The Sadduguntepalya police had previously summoned both parties last month following an earlier complaint, conducting an inquiry and issuing a warning to the husband. The current complaint awaits further police investigation and action against the accused.
