Woman injected with HIV

Uttar Pradesh: Woman injected with HIV-infected needle over dowry demands; FIR registered after court order

In May 2024, victim was admitted in hospital by her father. Medical reports confirmed that her internal organs were damaged due to the forced consumption of drugs, and she was found to be infected with HIV.

On 11th February, Gangoh police (Saharanpur) in Uttar Pradesh filed an FIR against a man and his family for dowry demands, assault, and injecting the wife with an HIV-infected needle. The FIR has been registered against Abhishek alias Sachin on the complaint of the victim’s father following a court order under Sections 498-A, 323, 307, 328, 326, and 406 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. OpIndia accessed FIR and court orders directing police to register the case.

Escalating dowry demands post-Marriage

According to the complaint filed by the victim’s father, the victim got married to Abhishek on 15th February 2023 in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The bride’s family gave a car and ₹15 lakh in cash as dowry, alongside gold and silver jewelry, household appliances, and other valuables amounting to ₹42 lakh. However, the in-laws were not satisfied and soon demanded an additional ₹25 lakh and an SUV.

When the victim’s parents refused to meet the demands, her husband, along with family members, started to taunt, harass, and assault her. Within a month of marriage, she was thrown out of her marital home and returned to her parental house.

Attempts at reconciliation and continued abuse

For the next three months, the victim stayed at her parental house, and her in-laws made no effort to bring her back. In July 2023, her father and some relatives called for a “panchayat” (gathering of elders) at her husband’s residence in Jasvawala, Haridwar. Following pressure from the elders of the society, the in-laws agreed to take her back, but the harassment allegedly continued. She was again assaulted and told that Abhishek would remarry.

In October 2023, she was again thrown out of the house, and another panchayat was held where relatives tried to resolve the matter. The in-laws, however, refused to accept her this time unless their dowry demands were fulfilled. Eventually, the panchayat forcefully left her at the in-laws’ house. The complainant told the police that the torture continued after that.

In November 2023, yet another episode of dowry-related violence took place, and she was beaten before being thrown out of the house again. Another panchayat was held. The accused family apologised but insisted that they would accept her only on their terms. A written agreement was drafted in April 2024 to settle the matter, and the victim went back to her in-laws’ house. However, upon returning home, she was informed that she would never be accepted and that Abhishek would remarry as revenge for the humiliation faced in the panchayat.

Injected with HIV-infected needle

When the victim refused to leave, her in-laws allegedly started giving her harmful medicines, leading to internal organ damage. The complainant alleged that the victim’s husband and sister-in-law later administered an HIV-infected injection to weaken her further. She was confined inside the house, prevented from seeking medical help, and not allowed to contact anyone.

Despite the restrictions, she managed to contact her father and brother. In May 2024, her brother visited her and learned about the abuse. He messaged their father, who arrived the next day. Seeing her condition, they rushed her to the hospital. Medical reports confirmed that her internal organs were damaged due to the forced consumption of drugs, and she was found to be infected with HIV. When her husband was tested, he was found to be HIV-negative, strengthening suspicions that she had been deliberately infected as part of a premeditated conspiracy.

Police inaction and legal intervention

After her diagnosis, the family approached the police to file a complaint. However, the police dismissed it as a “family matter” and refused to register the case without senior officers’ approval. The victim’s father approached the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Saharanpur, but no action was taken.

Left with no alternative, the complainant filed a petition in the local court seeking legal intervention. On 6th February 2025, the court ordered the Gangoh Kotwali police to register an FIR against Abhishek, his family members, and other accused individuals under relevant sections.

The investigation into the matter is underway.

The Tragic Demise of Bhaskar Shetty: A Story of Wealth, Betrayal, and Murder

A Mysterious Disappearance

Thirty years ago, Bhaskar Shetty left India for Saudi Arabia with nothing but ambition and grit. He returned a wealthy man, only to meet a gruesome end in his own home near Udupi. On July 28, he vanished without a trace. The shocking revelation that followed sent ripples through the town: Shetty had been murdered by his own wife and son, his body incinerated in a homa kunda—a sacred fire pit traditionally used for rituals—with the assistance of a priest.

A Devout Businessman

The story of Bhaskar Shetty’s rise was the stuff of legend. Fondly known as Bhaskaranna, he was deeply religious, a man who believed his success was owed to divine grace. His grand mansion, named ‘Eshwari’ in honor of the goddess he worshipped, stood proudly by the bustling Udupi-Manipal road. Yet, despite his devout exterior, whispers of turmoil within the family painted a starkly different picture.

Fractured Family Ties

Bhaskar Shetty, 52, had long lived apart from his wife Rajeshwari, 45, and son Navneeth, 20. He spent his nights at the hotel he owned, Durga International, and only visited Eshwari for his daily prayers. Friends observed his growing withdrawal and despair in recent months, a change attributed to ongoing family disputes. It was rumored that Rajeshwari and Navneeth had assaulted him at his hotel in a fit of rage.

The Motive: A Fortune at Stake

The motive? Shetty’s vast fortune, estimated at around ₹300 crore. Investigators believe his decision to disinherit his wife and son in favor of his mother and brother was the final straw that led to the chilling plot to end his life.

The Breaking Point

Those close to the family recall the moment the cracks deepened: Shetty had grown suspicious of Rajeshwari’s management of the hotel finances and accused her of cooking the books. A heated confrontation followed, during which Rajeshwari allegedly tried to destroy incriminating evidence. When Shetty intervened, Navneeth allegedly turned violent. That day, Shetty is said to have severed ties with them completely.

Stranded and Frustrated

Adding to his woes, Shetty found himself stranded in Udupi, unable to locate his passport and increasingly frustrated with being cut off from his thriving business in Saudi Arabia.

A Humble Beginning

Friends remember Shetty as a self-made man, raised in poverty by his parents, Gulabi and Sheenappa Shetty. They recall his humble beginnings—from assisting at his father’s small eatery to working as a mechanic in Mumbai before an overseas opportunity changed his life. Once in Saudi Arabia, he established a successful chain of six supermarkets and extended his generosity to his extended family and community.

A Sinister Influence

But prosperity did not bring happiness. In the last few years, Shetty grew wary of his wife’s closeness with a young priest-astrologer, Niranjan Bhat. The 26-year-old, now under arrest, allegedly wielded a sinister influence over Rajeshwari. As their relationship deepened, Bhat’s lifestyle transformed dramatically—from driving luxurious cars to flaunting a lavish lifestyle in Udupi. Authorities suspect it was Bhat who masterminded the gruesome disposal of Shetty’s body, using his homa kunda in Nandalike village to burn the remains and later discarding the ashes in a nearby river.

Justice in Progress

The investigation, led by ASP Sumana, is uncovering chilling details. “The accused, Niranjan Bhat, has confessed to his role in the crime. DNA analysis of a bone fragment retrieved by police is underway, and we believe it belongs to Bhaskar Shetty,” she confirmed.

Bengaluru Man Extorts Girlfriend Using Private Videos

Bengaluru Man Extorts Girlfriend Using Private Videos: A Shocking Tale of Betrayal

Bengaluru Woman Loses Over ₹2.5 Crore and Luxury Car to Ex-Boyfriend’s Blackmail

In a distressing case of betrayal, a 20-year-old woman from Bengaluru fell victim to an elaborate blackmail scheme orchestrated by her boyfriend, Mohan Kumar. The man exploited their relationship, using intimate videos to extort more than ₹2.5 crore, expensive watches, jewelry, and even a luxury car.

A Promising Relationship Turns into a Nightmare

The victim and Mohan Kumar initially met during their boarding school days. Though they lost contact over the years, fate brought them together again, leading to a romantic relationship. Kumar promised marriage and took the woman on several trips, during which he secretly recorded intimate moments.

Police officials revealed that Kumar assured his girlfriend the videos were for personal use. However, in some of these recordings, he deliberately avoided showing his face. Later, he weaponized these videos to threaten her, claiming he would release them publicly unless his monetary demands were met.

Blackmail and Extortion Unfolds

Shaken and desperate to protect her privacy, the young woman began fulfilling Kumar’s demands. Initially, she secretly withdrew ₹1.25 crore from her grandmother’s bank account and transferred the money to accounts specified by Kumar. Over time, the extortion escalated, leading her to hand over ₹1.32 crore in cash on multiple occasions.

In addition to the cash, Kumar coerced the victim into giving him expensive watches, jewelry, and even a high-end luxury car. Shockingly, some of the extorted money was transferred to accounts belonging to Kumar’s father.

Courage to Fight Back

The relentless blackmail continued until the victim decided she could no longer endure the harassment. Summoning her courage, she approached the Bengaluru police and lodged a complaint against Kumar.

The police acted promptly, leading to Mohan Kumar’s arrest. Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayanand described the crime as “well-planned” and stated that the accused had extorted a total of ₹2.57 crore. Authorities have so far recovered ₹80 lakh of the extorted amount.

What’s Next?

This harrowing case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need to address crimes involving privacy violations. Bengaluru Police are continuing their investigation to trace and recover the remaining extorted money and bring justice to the victim.


Protecting Yourself from Cyber and Privacy Crimes

This incident serves as a stark reminder to exercise caution in relationships and safeguard personal information. If you or someone you know is facing similar threats, report the matter to authorities immediately. Bengaluru Police have urged citizens to come forward without fear to combat such crimes effectively.
