NEW DELHI. In an unusual case of domestic violence , a man was granted police protection by Delhi High Court after it was established that he was physically assaulted by his wife.

Sanjeev Sharma , the victim, is 90% physically challenged and does not live with his wife. He works as a teacher in a government school. He had alleged that he is living with a big threat to his life as his wife would regularly torture him physically and beat him.

Relying on Sharma's allegations and the irrefutable evidence submitted by his advocate Aaditya Aggarwal, the court ordered the area SHO to provide him police security.

On thorough evaluation of Sharma's condition and nature of threats he was receiving, Justice Najmi Waziri's bench ordered the investigation officer of the case to have a word with victim's wife and advise her to not take law into her hands.

Apart from this, the court ordered provision of two emergency contact numbers of policemen to Sharma.

Advocate Aggarwal, who filed suit on behalf of Sharma, had also accused the wife of thrashing his client in the same school he taught. She was also accused of beating their son.

To support his allegations, Aggarwal produced some photographs as proof, in which the wife could be seen breaking a three-wheeler meant for disabled people.
