The 181 Abhayam helpline operated by the government for the safety of women is a boon for women in trouble. One such case has come to light near Olpad taluka of Surat district. A call was received from a victim on the 181 women’s helpline from this area.
Pidita said that her brother-in-law got divorced with his wife two years ago, since then he has become addicted to playing games in mobile. That’s why he neither works nor gives money to the house. The victim herself works as a teacher. He has a little boy. Mother-in-law was ill for six months and died. Father-in-law and brother-in-law also live with the victim.
The victim and the father-in-law explained a lot to the brother-in-law that playing games like this for a long time damages the body and affects the health. The brother-in-law quarreled after abusing, then the victim sought help by calling 181 Abhayam helpline.
On persuasion by 181 team, Jeth said that from now on I will stay away from this game and I will not fight with my family and I will do my work and provide essential things at home. Taking this guarantee, an amicable agreement has been reached between the two parties on the spot.
