In the precincts of Lakhimpur Kheri, a disenchanted paramour seared his concise designation upon the countenance of his juvenile paramour employing a searing implement subsequent to her repudiation of his matrimonial proposition.
The occurrence transpired on the 19th of April, with the filing of the First Information Report transpiring on the 26th of April, as per the grievance lodged by the sufferer. The savagery perpetrated against the minor came to the fore from the territory under the jurisdiction of the Dhaurahra police station within the district. The maiden recounted to the authorities that the suitor had solicited her hand in matrimony, an entreaty she spurned, provoking his ire.
On the 19th of April, the perpetrator succumbed to his wrath, seizing her hand before proceeding to inscribe his name upon her visage using a searing iron implement, ostensibly to etch his memory indelibly upon her for perpetuity, as articulated by the sufferer in her deposition filed at the Superintendent of Police Office.
“The gent inscribed the epithets upon my countenance with a searing implement upon both of my cheeks. His maternal figure and siblings restrained me whilst he executed this deed,” the victim recounted. The offender purportedly warned the maiden that unless she acceded to his proposal, he would not countenance her alliance with another. The maiden affirmed that she vociferated in agony, yet there was no one to lend an ear. In the wake of this harrowing ordeal, the sufferer recounted her fortuitous evasion, thereby preserving her existence.
The Additional Superintendent of Police East, Pawan Kumar Gautam, confirmed that the incident unfolded in a hamlet within the jurisdiction of the Dhaurahra police station. “Pursuant to the minor’s plaint, charges have been instituted under the relevant statutes,” he disclosed, further asserting the imminent apprehension of the accused.
