eks after their onlineance had begun, they wed

oubled timestas conjugal bliss was

rt-lived. Soon, Pasha bareduglier, more real side to hise. She felt the first tremorsinrelationship when he start-tormenting her over her

gion. Her suspicions of hav-be en c hea te d we re

firmed when she discoveredhis claims of owning an

ort-export business were

elaborate fabrications. He hadalso lied about being a gradu-ate, having dropped out ofschool in Std IX.

Pashas menacing behaviourwas soon extended to Saritasfamily, whom he started threat-ening and abusing. On April 14,a traumatised Sarita finallydecided to turn things around,and lodged her first complaint a non-cognisable (NC) one in Mulund police station.Discord erupted between thecouple, and on May 29, the twodivorced, in the presence of a

qazi and several relatives.However,the divorce was yettobe formalised in a court of law,and Pashas abusive ways con-t in ue d. On Jun e 16, a nincreasingly despairing Saritaregistered her second NC in thepolice station.

AbductedFindingit difficult to accept thatthe two hadparted ways, Pashastarted making desperateattempts to meet her. Saritaignored his overtures. Outragedat the slight, Pasha plottedrevenge. On June 17, whileSarita was onher way toNirmalLifestyle, Pasha ambushed herand took her to his residence inSewri, where he held the girl

captive for days.Having ensnared his victim,the diabolical man gave freerein to his sadistic urges,assaulting her with kicks andpunches. Anyattempts made bySarita todefendherself infuriat-ed him, and soon he found anew weapon of torment arazor blade. Over the next ninedays, the fiendish man subject-ed Sarita to unspeakabletorment, slashing her all over

her body, slashing her face,neck and arms with the blade,leaving a mesh of about 100surface injuries on her skin. Heragonised screams frightened

Pasha, who tookher toa privateclinic in his vehicle but notbefore trying to stage Saritassuicide.

En route to the clinic, Pashaclicked pictures of Saritas

wounds using his cameraphone, and forwarded them toSaritas sister. He sent anaccompanying message, mak-ing it sound like Sarita had

written it. The SMS givesa clearpicture of hisintentions, saying:

Listen dont ever call on thisnumber. Dont show these pic-tures to jiju [brother-in-law] as

well. But show mom and dad. Ilove youall. Giving my life now.

Bye forever. Dont lodge anycomplaint against anyone. Ilove youall. Cops investigatingthe case suspect that this wasPashas first step in staging his

wifes suicide.Sarita received treatment at

the clinic, after which Pashatook her back home to subjecth er to more vio len ce.Surprisingly, not a single mem-ber of the attending staff reported Saritas tell-all injuries

at a police station.Saritas ordeal continued.

Thinking of new ways of tor-menting his partner, Pashathreatened to falsely implicateh er in a c ase un de r t heMaharashtra Control ofOrganised Crime Act(MCOCA). Her spirits flagging,Sarita started contemplatingsuicide at this point. Pasha alsobullied her into telling her par-ents not to lodge a complaintagainst him.

The great escapeAn opportunity to flee this pri-vate hell presented itself toSarita on June 26, and desper-ate for freedom, she seized it.
