However, he took out his gun, slapped me and threatened to kill my brother when I tried to raise an alarm. He then overpowered me and raped me.

The victim also mentioned that there was already a domestic violence case registered against her in-laws at the Crime Against Women (CAW) cell in the Saket court, which she had filed soon after her marriage in December 2018.

Following which I narrated my ordeal to the officer and my parents," the FIR read.
