The wife of a local leader in Uttar Pradesh, whose video went viral after he cried at a police station alleging that he was denied a poll ticket "even after paying a large sum of money", has filed a complaint accusing her husband of "selling her to his friends for money".

She also alleged that she was raped at her own house. The woman was given a ticket by another party after her husband's video started doing the rounds on social media. The police have now booked the husband and his friends and relatives for gang rape, criminal intimidation, and other serious sections of the IPC. According to the complaint, the woman, who runs a clinic, alleged that her husband did not take her to the counting station on March 10.
