A man apparently forced his wife to be repeatedly gang-raped by his bosses for a promotion at the workplace.
Bhupendra Nimade, over 12 years is alleged to have forced his wife to swallow sleeping pills that turned her into a vegetable.
The woman, a resident of Khargone, finally picked up the courage to lodge a case with the Habibganj police station. The FIR was lodged on Friday.
She was gang-raped by four people for her husband, a bank employee to get a promotion and posting in the state capital.
The woman said her husband had declared her insane in front of relatives even as she sank into depression.
He also threatened to throw their daughters into the 'flesh trade' if she resisted.
A case of gang rape was lodged against the husband and six others.
The 35-year-old rape survivor hails from Barwani and was married to Nimade in Khargone in 2000.
He worked as a peon at Apex Bank.
The ordeal began when her husband started beating her and allowed his friends, Nirmal and Yogesh to rape her at Khargone.
Her husband would lace her milk with sleeping pills and also inject her with sedatives till she would lose consciousness.
Whenever she resisted, her husband would threaten to kill her children.
In 2012, her husband came in contact with Apex Bank's legal advisor, Om Patidar and his associates Shivpal, Sunil and Ajay, all employees of the same bank.
"Nimade assured Patidar and his aides that if they promoted him and got him transferred to Bhopal, he would force me to have sex with them," the woman said.
As per the deal, Patidar and his associates raped her on several occasions.
The woman also suspects that her kids too were exploited in the same way but they could never muster the courage to speak against their father, she said.
The woman also demanded a medical examination of her kids.
The station house officer of Habibganj police station GP Agrawal said a case of gang rape has been registered against all the accused.
