A 38-year-woman from Naroda in Ahmedabad lodged a complaint at Krishnanagar police station on Sunday alleging that her husband, Deepak Parmar, has pawned her car, taken the money, and is making her pay the instalments, both for the auto loan and to the moneylender to whom he has pawned the car.

As per a report in the Times of India, the woman, identified as Jyoti Parmar, said her husband — who is drunkard and beats her often — told her she would be in trouble if she didn’t repay the moneylender because the car is registered in her name. The woman works for a private company and has an 11-year-old son. According to the complaint, Jyoti married the accused 16 years ago. The complainant alleged that for the last two years her husband has been drinking every day, harassing her and beating her, because he wants her to leave her job.
