A pregnant woman was brutally attacked with cement bricks in public, allegedly by her husband, who has since been arrested, police said on Monday.<\/p>\n
A video of the incident has gone viral, triggering widespread outrage.<\/p>\n
According to police, the accused, Basharath (32), an interior designer, and Shabana (22), a native of Kolkata, met in a shared auto during a visit to Ajmer Dargah in Rajasthan in January 2023.<\/p>\n
They fell in love, and Basharath visited her home in Kolkata in May 2024. The couple got married in October 2024 in Kolkata.<\/p>\n
Shabana moved to Hyderabad earlier this year, but the couple began facing family issues, a police release said.<\/p>\n
On March 29, she was admitted to a private hospital due to weakness and vomiting. She reportedly informed hospital staff that her husband had been abusing her.<\/p>\n
At around 10 pm on April 1, the accused arrived at the hospital to take her home, but she refused.<\/p>\n
Following an argument-reportedly provoked by certain remarks-Basharath dragged her out and threw her onto the road near the hospital. He then struck her on the chest and head with two cement bricks, hitting her around 12-14 times before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n
Hospital staff who rushed to the spot identified her.<\/p>\n
The accused was arrested on the night of April 2 and produced before a local court on April 3, the release added.<\/p>\n
The woman, who was found unconscious, is currently undergoing medical treatment.<\/p>\n
