A 19-year-old woman from Tripura has accused her live-in partner of subjecting her to brutal physical and sexual assault in Gurugram. The accused, identified as Shivam (19), a resident of Delhi, has been arrested by police and remanded to judicial custody.
According to her statement, the alleged violence began on February 19 following a disagreement over their marriage plans. The survivor told investigators that Shivam assaulted her with a metal bottle, smashing it against furniture before attacking her with a knife. She alleged that the abuse continued over three days, during which she was also forced into physical relations on the pretext of marriage.
The woman, a biotechnology student studying in Gurugram, was initially admitted to a government hospital in critical condition. Due to the severity of her injuries, she was referred to AIIMS New Delhi and later shifted to Safdarjung Hospital for advanced treatment. Police said medical examinations have confirmed multiple serious injuries.
Investigators revealed that the couple met through an online dating application in September 2025 and later began living together in Sector 69, Gurugram. Discussions regarding marriage had reportedly taken place between their families.
