A police constable from Navi Mumbai has been booked for allegedly subjecting his wife to physical and mental cruelty, as reported by the authorities on Tuesday. The case was filed following a complaint by the 32-year-old woman, who claimed to have been enduring harassment at the hands of her husband since 2013.

According to the police, the complaint led to the registration of a case on Sunday under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 85 (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), Section 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), and Section 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace), along with other relevant provisions under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (Indian Penal Code). The woman accused her husband, who is a constable with the Navi Mumbai police, of physically and mentally torturing her for years.
