38-year-old was rushed to hospital in
Haldwani, in northern India, on Christmas Day complaining of severe
abdominal pains and swelling
She told medics that her husband had tortured her for being
infertile three days before and threatened to kill her if she told
anybody about the ordeal.
Doctors at the Hospital initially tried to x-ray the woman but nothing confirmed her
injuries. Eventually a team of five doctors operated on her and discovered the rolling pin inside her intestines.
Dr Kedar said: We were very shocked. We did not expect anything like this. We could only see a shadow in the x-ray as wooden materials
cannot be identified. The internal damage she suffered was very serious
and she could have died, The size of the rolling pin was around 40cm long which is a big size to be inserted into a human body.
Amita Lokhani, vice-chairperson of NCW, said: ‘The matter came to me a day after the operation. The woman was in a terrible condition when I first visited her. She was not only in pain but terrified to speak to anyone. I tried asking her what had happened but she did not say a word and kept crying. Her husband was present at the time. I continued visiting her for three days and eventually she opened up on the third day while her husband was away. She told me she was infertile and her husband often tortured her.’
The man is now reported to be on the run after being charged with rape and grievous bodily harm
The woman is being treated at the hospital and is likely to be discharged next week and the NCW will continue to look after her.
Dr Shahi added: ‘She came to us in a very poor state affected
badly with septicemia. Her life was in grave danger but she is currently
doing well and we’re positive she will make a recovery.
‘She’s been a very brave lady.’
