A highly distressing incident unfolded at the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on April 10, when a woman from Gonda climbed onto the roof of the court premises in an apparent act of desperation, threatening to jump while holding her child. The situation drew immediate attention and intervention from lawyers and court authorities, who managed to bring both her and the child to safety.
The episode is linked to serious allegations made by the woman, who has approached authorities seeking the registration of an FIR. She has claimed that she was abducted under the pretext of marriage and subsequently subjected to repeated sexual assault by multiple individuals. According to her statement, she was also forced to convert her religion and coerced into marriage against her will.
She further alleged that during this period, she endured sustained physical and mental abuse. The woman stated that she later gave birth to a child, but that the accused individuals refused to accept responsibility. She has also accused certain local figures, including a village head, of protecting the accused and threatening her in an attempt to prevent her from pursuing legal action.
The situation escalated dramatically when she arrived at the High Court premises, claiming that she was being pressured to withdraw her complaint. In a particularly alarming allegation, she said that her child had been threatened and even dangled in the air to intimidate her.
Amid the chaos, lawyers present at the scene intervened promptly, ensuring the safety of the child and preventing any tragic outcome. The woman reportedly lost consciousness due to the stress, after which court security officials, including senior personnel, stepped in to stabilise the situation and move both individuals to safety.
The woman has demanded strict legal action against all those she has named, including immediate arrests. Police have initiated an investigation into the allegations, and further proceedings are expected as authorities examine the claims and gather evidence.
