Dehradun Woman Rescued After Alleged 10‑Month Confinement; FIR Registered

Investigators say they have found prima facie injuries and are collecting medical evidence as the victim’s family seeks custody of her newborn twins.

Overview

  • The woman’s parents say they freed her from her in‑laws’ home in late May after she had been kept locked in a room and a toilet for about ten months and was highly disoriented on release.
  • The family alleges repeated physical and sexual assaults, including beatings with rods and bottles and injuries to private parts, plus denial of contact with the twins born in February 2025.
  • Selakui police have registered an FIR naming the husband and his parents with charges including wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
  • Officers say they observed prima facie injury marks, are obtaining a detailed medical report and photographic evidence, and have not made any arrests so far.
  • The victim is back with her natal family while the twins remain with the in‑laws and police say the medical findings and further statements will determine whether dowry‑related or other offences are added and what custody or legal steps follow.
