On April 29, a woman attempted self-immolation outside a police station in Mohali, Punjab, India, prompting significant media attention and departmental action against two police officers. The woman accused a man from Uttar Pradesh of exploiting her under the pretense of marriage and a joint business venture, leading to allegations of repeated sexual assault. Following the incident, Zirkapur police arrested the accused near Daria, close to Chandigarh railway station, after he evaded capture for days. The arrest was made possible through technical inputs and local intelligence. The accused, who operated a salon, allegedly deceived the woman into investing her personal savings into the business. He has been charged under BNS 69 (sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means), and further actions will depend on the ongoing investigation led by ASP Gazalpreet Kaur.
