Crime Has No Gender. In the absence of stringent laws with regards to Crimes By Women, several men have been falling prey to violent and revengeful attacks by this gender.
In a shocking case reported from Delhi, a man was attacked with acid by a disgruntled woman, because he refused to marry her.
Case:
25-year-old Shyam Singh lives with his aunt Anita in Mayur Vihar, Delhi since the demise of his parents. He got acquainted with a girl named Anjali from Sonepat, Haryana, over the phone and soon a friendship between the two developed.
Recently, Anjali expressed her desire to marry Shyam, however, Shyam’s aunt was reluctant of taking this alliance forward, which infuriated Anjali.
Acid Attack
On October 26, Anjali attacked Shyam with acid as she kept screaming,
If you are not mine, then I will not allow anyone else to come into your life.
Shyam has been admitted to a private hospital after the incident. Doctors have kept him in ICU and his condition is said to be critical.
Statement by Shyam’s Aunt
The boy’s family members informed police that Anjali belonged to Bidhal village and started talking to Shyam over the phone. During their telephonic conversations, a friendship developed between the two. Meanwhile, Anjali told Shyam that she wanted to marry him, but Shyam refused.
Meanwhile, before Diwali, Anjali landed up at Anita’s house with her mother to inform her of their ‘relationship’. However, Anita’s negative response made Anjali extremely unhappy. Anita said,
She left the house with a warning that Shyam will get married only to me, otherwise no one.
Shyam had been living in fear since then.
With regards to the acid attack, Anita said,
Shyam stepped out for bringing milk on Wednesday evening. Anjali suddenly appeared and started pressurising him again for marriage. At that time, Anjali had some acid-like liquid in her hand in a 5 litre can.
When Shyam categorically denied that he could not marry her without my consent, she literally bathed him by pouring acid all over his body.
The aunt added that Anjali kept looking at Shyam as he was suffering. When neighbours reached the spot, Anjali fled. Shyam was rushed to a hospital where his condition remains critical.
Anjali Was Married Earlier
Interestingly, Anita, who was present in the hospital, informed media that Anjali had been married earlier, however, had sent her husband to jail. According to the victim’s aunt, Anjali keeps roaming around with someone else throughout the day, and was now eyeing Shyam for marriage for his wealth. This was the reason why she had disapproved of this alliance.
No Arrest Even After 24-Hrs
Shyam’s aunt Anita alleges that she has given a police complaint against the woman and others, but even after 24 hours, the police did not take any action. Anita concluded,
If a man would have poured acid on a woman, then by now the police would have picked up all his family members as well. We want justice. Those who spoiled the life of my boy should be arrested immediately.

Independent journalist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj wrote,
ANJALI HAS BEEN ARRESTED.
Won’t name cop but when i called up & enquired why she did it, he laughingly said – He wasn’t marrying her & “using her” that’s why. When i questioned that she’s much elder to him & already married, he had nothing to say then!
A WEEK TO TAKE ACTION!
