Mumbai Shocker: Pregnant Woman Dies After Father and Son Force Her To Consume Abortion Pills in Nallasopara, Accused Arrested

Vasai, July 17: In a disturbing turn of events in Mumbai, a pregnant woman tragically lost her life after allegedly being forced by her husband and stepson to consume abortion pills. The victim, identified as 28-year-old Priya, was reportedly eight months pregnant when the incident occurred. According to reports, Priya had filed a complaint against her husband, 40-year-old Jayprakash Dubey and his son Sachin, aged 20, earlier this year, accusing them of cruelty and attempts to prevent her from giving birth. Following intense scrutiny and a search operation by authorities, both suspects were apprehended in Nallasopara.

According to a report by TOI, the tragic events leading to Priya's death began with escalating domestic abuse and coercion. Priya, married to Jayprakash Dubey since June 2023, endured a tumultuous relationship marred by alleged demands for dowry and verbal abuse. The situation deteriorated on April 7 when Jayprakash purportedly assaulted Priya, focusing on her abdomen. During this altercation, Sachin, Jayprakash's son, allegedly restrained Priya while his father forced her to consume abortion-inducing pills against her will. Mumbai Horror: Auto-Rickshaw Driver Molests Two Minor Girls and Three Young Women in Broad Daylight in Kandivali, Arrested.

Despite seeking refuge at her mother's residence in Vasai following the assault, Priya's condition worsened. She experienced bleeding and was subsequently admitted to a local civic hospital on April 10. Her critical condition prompted a transfer to Mumbai's Nair Hospital, where, despite medical intervention, she tragically suffered a miscarriage and eventually succumbed to her injuries on July 2. Jayprakash Dubey was initially arrested in April after Priya filed a case against him and his son for abusing her and preventing the birth of her child. Rajasthan Horror: Mumbai Man Allegedly Assaults, Pours Hot Oil on Private Parts of Live-In Partner’s Minor Daughter in Jaisalmer After She Resists Rape Attempt.

He was later released on bail by the Vasai court. However, after Priya's death, the crime branch of Mira Bhayander Vasai Virar Commissionerate (MBVV) intensified its efforts to locate the duo. As per the FPJ report, Jayprakash was rearrested on July 11, while Sachin, who had evaded capture, was finally apprehended in Nallasopara on Tuesday, July 16, following a concerted search effort by the central crime branch. Both father and son have been charged with murder and await further legal proceedings.
