Ahmedabad Man Accused of Threatening to Kill Sister-in-Law’s Husband, Son Over Sexual Demands

A 35-year-old woman from Ahmedabad has accused her brother-in-law of sexually harassing her and threatening to kill her husband and eight-year-old son if she refused his alleged sexual advances, prompting Sabarmati police to register a case.

The complainant, identified as Seemaben (name changed), a resident of Chenpur, alleged that the accused repeatedly approached her outside her son’s school and pressured her to enter into a sexual relationship with him.

According to her complaint, filed on October 26, the alleged harassment began around two months ago when she went to drop her son off at school. She claimed that the accused was standing near the school gate when he approached her and questioned her about why she had stopped speaking to him.

When Seemaben refused to engage in a conversation, the accused allegedly became angry, verbally abused her and threatened her with a paddle. He allegedly warned that he would kill her husband and son if she did not agree to have sexual relations with him.

Woman Told Husband About Alleged Threats

Seemaben told police that she was frightened by the confrontation and returned home without escalating the matter. She later informed her husband about the alleged threats and sexual advances.

However, the couple initially refrained from approaching the police because of the family relationship with the accused. They reportedly attempted to avoid further confrontation despite the alleged incidents.

The complainant further alleged that the accused continued to wait outside her son's school and repeatedly tried to speak to her. She claimed that he continued pressuring her to enter into a sexual relationship, leaving her concerned about her safety and that of her family.

After the alleged harassment continued, Seemaben approached the police with her husband and lodged a formal complaint.

Four-Year Dispute Between the Families

The complaint also refers to a longstanding dispute between the two families. According to the woman, relations between them had deteriorated around four years ago, after which communication between the families stopped.

The accused is related to the complainant through the extended family of her sister-in-law, who is married into his family. The existing family dispute was cited as part of the background to the strained relationship.

Sabarmati Police Begin Investigation

Sabarmati police registered a case on October 26 based on the woman's complaint. The allegations of sexual harassment, coercion and threats against her husband and child are being investigated.

Police will examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged encounters outside the school and the threats described in the complaint. The allegations against the accused have not been independently established, and the investigation is ongoing.
