Puttur: A pregnant woman has filed domestic violence case against her husband, father in-law, mother in-law and sister in-law at Sampya Police station, on May 20, alleging that due to the torture from the said family members, she had lost her child in the womb.

The victim, Priya, daughter of Gansh, a resident of Parappana Agrahara new road was married off to Bhargava Bhat, son of Narayana Bhat, resident of Bettampadi here in 2002.

While she had filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara police, they have transferred the case to Sampya police.
