Madurai woman pours hot oil on husband’s private parts

MADURAI: The Madurai city police have booked a 30-year-old woman for pouring hot oil on her husband’s private parts over a family dispute. Her husband, who is an autorickshaw driver, sustained burn injuries on his private parts and was admitted to Government Rajaji Hospital here.
The police identified the accused woman as P Sasikala of Nehru Nagar. Her husband, M Parameswaram, 37, had allegedly developed an extramarital affair with a woman in Virattipathu.
Sasikala came to know about the affair and started quarreling with him. He stopped coming home, and the issue was taken to the SS Colony police station.
The police warned Parameswaran. But there was no relief for the woman as he continued to stay with his paramour.
Last week, Sasikala called him up, spoke nicely and invited him to stay with her. He came home on Saturday night. As he went to bed, she heated oil in a pan. After making sure that he had slept, she poured the hot oil on his private parts.
Parameswaram was rushed to Government Rajaji Hospital.
The SS Colony police registered a case under various sections of the IPC, including 324 (voluntarily causing hurt using dangerous means or weapons) and 506 (ii) (threatening with dire consequences). She was picked up and questioned. She was not arrested.
The couple has three children.
