Uttarakhand Police said a man was arrested after allegedly assaulting his eight-month pregnant wife in Vikas Nagar. Officials reported the unborn child died, and doctors at Doon Hospital removed the stillborn foetus during surgery. The woman remains in a critical condition. Police said a family dispute preceded the incident.

Uttarakhand Police said Babloo was arrested for allegedly beating Seema, who was eight months pregnant. Officials said the assault led to the death of the unborn child. Seema, from Vikas Nagar, remained in a critical condition at the Doon Hospital. Doctors operated on Tuesday and removed the stillborn child, police said.

Police said the case surfaced after Seema’s father, Sher Singh, tried to meet Seema. Officials said Babloo stopped Singh from entering the house. Singh then informed police, after which a team reached the home. Police took both Seema and Babloo to the Sahaspur police station for further action.

Police said Seema was first taken to the Sahaspur hospital due to serious injuries. Doctors later referred Seema to the Doon Hospital, officials said.

According to police, Seema married Babloo seven years ago. Babloo was originally from Haryana’s Panipat, police said. Officials said Babloo was living in Vikas Nagar with Seema. Police added that the couple had two daughters before this pregnancy.

Uttarakhand Police probe into dispute details

Police said an argument broke out between Seema and Babloo on Friday. During the fight, Babloo allegedly punched and kicked Seema in the abdomen. Police also said Babloo beat Seema with a wooden stick. Officials said the injuries caused the death of the eight-month-old fetus inside Seema’s womb.

Sahaspur sub-inspector Neeraj Tyagi said a case was registered against Babloo. Police said the case was filed under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Officials said the complaint was submitted by Sher Singh. Police said Babloo was taken into custody after the case was registered.

Uttarakhand Police examine sex test claim and land deal angle

Seema’s family alleged Babloo took Seema to Panipat a few days earlier. They alleged it was for an illegal prenatal sex detection test. The family claimed Babloo became violent after learning the fetus was a girl. Police did not confirm this allegation, officials said.

Sahaspur SHO Pradeep Rawat toldinstead that initial investigation suggested that the dispute was triggered by a land deal. The accused claimed that he purchased a plot in his wifes name, which she sold without his knowledge to give the money to her parents, the SHO said.

Police said Seema continued to receive treatment at the Doon Hospital due to the injuries. Officials said Seema’s condition remained critical after the surgery on Tuesday. Police said the investigation was ongoing, and the case was being handled under BNS sections. Officials also said they were verifying the claims raised by Seema’s family.
