The domestic violence case<\/strong><\/p>\nStory continues below this ad<\/p>\n
A report submitted by the Delhi Police to the Delhi High Court talks about the domestic violence case filed by the woman.<\/p>\n
It shows that after the domestic violence complaint, a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) was issued, which ended on October 1.<\/p>\n
On September 4, the victim was informed about her husband\u2019s arrest and bail conditions. An event log maintained by the UK Police shows that on September 16, the officer in charge of handling the case contacted the woman and shared his number.<\/p>\n
The next day, the woman contacted the officer; she wanted to withdraw her allegations and return to her husband. She asked when she could speak to her husband, the document states, but was told that the protection order was still in effect.<\/p>\n

On September 18, police put a marker on the man\u2019s car. Officers then went to the shelter home where the woman was staying for a welfare check and advised her not to contact her husband for her safety, as per the document.<\/p>\n
On September 20, the shelter informed the police that she had left of her own accord and moved into a flatshare near her workplace.<\/p>\n
On October 3, the document stated, the victim contacted the Northamptonshire Police and asked if she could speak to her husband again. She was informed that a sergeant would review the case and was reminded of safety advice.<\/p>\n
On October 24, as per the document, arrangements were made to take a statement from the woman, that she was withdrawing the allegations when an interpreter was available.<\/p>\n

On October 27, police contacted her via telephone and said that due to a lack of resources, this meeting would need to be rescheduled.<\/p>\n
On November 4, police attempted to contact the woman by phone and left a voicemail.<\/p>\n
On November 9, police visited the new address, but she was not there. Neighbours reported that she had moved out two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
On November 12, police contacted her yet again and arranged to meet her at Corby Police Station two days later.<\/p>\n

The UK Police have initiated an inquiry against the officers handling the woman\u2019s case to ascertain if there were lapses in the handling of the case.<\/p>\n
In March, Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) Director Derrick Campbell said, \u201cAfter assessment of the evidence to date, we have served disciplinary notices to four Northamptonshire Police officers, two at the level of gross misconduct and two for potential misconduct. The gross misconduct notices against two detective constables cover alleged failings to progress enquiries and communicate with the victim after her report of domestic abuse at the end of August 2024. The misconduct notices on two more senior officers relate to their supervision of the case and relevant risk assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch notices advise officers that they are subject to investigation and do not necessarily mean any disciplinary proceedings will follow. At the end of the investigation, decisions will be taken as to whether any officer has a disciplinary case to answer,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
No closure<\/strong><\/p>\nBack home in Delhi, the 24-year-old\u2019s family continues to wait for justice.<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s sister, who has been shuttling between her maternal and in-laws\u2019 homes, recalls every moment she spent with her sister.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she was in pre-school, she would return home every day calling out to me in excitement\u2026 \u2018Ohnia Ohnia\u2019!\u2019\u2026 she wanted to play\u2026 it became a daily ritual.\u201d<\/p>\n
She fondly remembers her sister\u2019s little tantrums.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe would cry each time she was asked to do her homework. It was when she was in Class 11 that she started to shine in her studies,\u201d her sister says.<\/p>\n
The woman would follow in her sister\u2019s footsteps \u2014 she went to the same school, did the same course in college. The sister said she was good at Maths but took up Hindi (Honours) \u2014 because that was what she studied.<\/p>\n
\u201cSab kuch usse mere jaise karna tha (she wanted to do everything I did). I just wish she were as bold and outspoken as I am\u2026 maybe things would have been different\u2026 she was kind, soft-spoken, extremely caring \u2014 that\u2019s why her husband took advantage of her,\u201d she exclaims in anger.<\/p>\n
Her father says after his \u2018Sweety\u2019 \u2014 that\u2019s what he fondly called her \u2014 was murdered, everything changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does a parent want?\u201d he asks. \u201cThat their kids remain happy and healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs parents, we spend our entire lives ensuring our children are brought up well, get settled, and lead a happy life. What I got in the end was her body and a battle for justice that\u2019s still ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day after I woke up, the first thing I would do was to light a lamp at the mandir (shrine) in our house,\u201d the father says. After what happened to his daughter, his faith is shaken. He doesn\u2019t light the lamp anymore.<\/p>\n
\u201cMann nahi karta ab (I just don\u2019t feel like it anymore),\u201d he says. \u201cI want the accused behind bars \u2014 and everyone else in his family who harboured him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"August 2023 would be a turning point in the life of this 24-year-old woman.
