VARANASI: Lanka police have registered an FIR following a complaint by the wife of a Banaras Hindu University deputy registrar, who has accused her husband and a woman employee of the university hospital of subjecting her to mental and psychological harassment.

The complainant, identified in the source report as SR Menaga, lives in Yashvika Colony in Lathia and has two children. She named her husband, Deputy Registrar A Velu, and the hospital employee in the complaint filed on Tuesday night. She alleged that her husband was in an extramarital relationship, stayed away from the family home and threatened or assaulted her when she objected.

Menaga also said she has a heart condition and experiences chest pain. Her complaint alleges that the conduct of the two named people placed severe pressure on her and that she was encouraged to harm herself. She told police she had earlier approached senior university and Institute of Medical Sciences officials about the domestic dispute.

Inspector Rajkumar of Lanka police station said the investigation has been assigned to Sub-Inspector Binni Rani Gond, according to the report. Registration of an FIR begins a criminal investigation; it is not a finding that the allegations are true. The named individuals are entitled to respond, and any culpability must be established through evidence and due process.

This distinction is especially important in a case that combines a marital dispute, workplace connections and serious allegations of violence. Messages, call records, medical documents and witness statements may form part of the inquiry, but their relevance and authenticity are matters for investigators and, if charges follow, the court.

Dalimss News is not publishing private messages, addresses beyond the locality already reported, or material that could identify the children. The welfare of minors should not become collateral in public discussion of an adult dispute. Social-media users should also avoid circulating unverified claims about the complainant or the woman employee.

Anyone facing domestic violence or threats should seek immediate help from a trusted person, local police, a recognised support service or a medical facility. Evidence such as medical records and written complaints can be important, but personal safety comes first.

The university had not been quoted in the report as issuing a formal statement on the FIR, and no response from the two accused persons was included. Those gaps must remain visible rather than filled with assumptions.

The confirmed development is limited but significant: a complaint has been registered at Lanka police station and an investigating officer has been assigned. What the evidence shows—and how the named parties answer—will determine the case from here.
