Lucknow, June 26: In a disturbing incident emerging from Uttar Pradesh's Agra, a woman was forced to have sex with her mother-in-law and was attacked with a blade when she refused to do so. The victim has lodged a formal complaint against her husband and in-laws, accusing them of severe harassment and torture. The police have taken cognisance of the matter and registered a case.

According to a report published by India Today, the victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, entered into matrimony with Alok Upadhyay in Ghazipur district in 2022.
