A woman resident of Bamanwas, Sawai Madhopur, climbed the Women’s Commission roof after a fight with her husband and negative response from her in‑laws

Officer Gunjan Sony of Jyoti Nagar police said the police reached immediately, persuaded the woman and safely brought her down

Background

Three years ago, after dropping out of college and entering a love marriage, the woman lodged a complaint against her husband at the East Women’s Police Station. The investigation is ongoing, but she says no concrete action has been taken so far

On 22 April 2025 she went to her in‑laws’ house, where family members refused to let her stay and evicted her, worsening her situation

Following these incidents she approached the Women’s Commission seeking justice and assistance; frustrated by delays in hearing, she climbed the roof

What next

With the help of Advocate Charanjit Bhati and court staff, the woman was brought down. The police said she has been provided a ‘Shakti Stambh’ (security) and regular counselling continues

DS Shekhawat, President of the Family Court Bar Association, Jaipur, said security arrangements in family disputes are often inadequate and a permanent police outpost is needed
