Online Ludo is one of the games which is in high demand since the COVID-19 lockdown. India is in lockdown since March 22nd to stop the spread of Coronavirus and the online games are rising. Friends and Family combined to play Ludo online during the quarantine.
In Vadodara, Gujarat a husband severely trashed his wife and injured her spinal cord after he lost to her in an online ludo game.
The wife wanted her husband to stay indoors instead of roaming outside and meet different people. She convinced him to play ludo on the mobile phone. When the wife defeated him consecutively the man lost his cool.
He thrashed her so badly that she was hospitalized with an injured spinal cord.
Counselors from 181 Abhayam Helpline said:
“A sore loser, he started arguing with his wife and the verbal duel turned ugly. He started beating her with such ferocity that the woman developed a gap between two of her vertebrae.”
“They also said that the husband’s ego was hurt when his wife outsmarted him in the online game and was more intelligent as she also contributed to the family income.”
The 181 Abhayam is a 24×7 helpline that supports women in distress and in threatening situations like domestic violence.
The woman was discharged from the hospital after the treatment. She decided to stay with her parents for a few days. The 181 Abhayam Helpline counseled the couple and warned that physical torture is a crime and he could be arrested if his wife lodged a complaint.
