"Early Monday morning at 4am I got a call from my Boytriend (Ashwajit Gaikwad) and I went to see him. He was at a function with his Family and our common friends. Upon reaching there I met some friends and found that my boyfriend was behaving Strange. So I asked him if everything was fine and insisted him for us to talk in private. I stepped out of The function and waited for him. He along with his friends came outside.I tried talking to him but his friend(Romil Patil) wouldn't let me do that instead started insulting me. This Further Blew up into a heated argument. My boyfriend and his friend used abusive language to which I asked my Boyfriend to defend me and not abuse which led to the Start of something Beyond my imagination.
My Boyfriend slapped me, tried to strangle my neck, I tried to push him away he bit my hand, beat me, pulled my hair and his Friend out of no where pushed me to the ground..before I could realise they started walking towards their cars. I immediately rushed to my boyfriend near his car to get my phone and bag (he had snatched my belongings during the fight and kept it in his car)
As soon as I reached to his Car (Range Rover Defender) I heard him Say "Uda de isko" to his driver (Sagar). His driver sped up the car and hit me from the left corner of the vehicle which got me to the ground and the Rear left wheel of the car went over my right leg. They stopped after 20-30m I waved in pain for help but they fled away. I was left on the Street in pain for around 30 mins all alone withoud my phone or any help.
A passer by saw me and informed the local police. This stranger stayed near me to help me. After sometime my boyfnend's driver came back to check if I'm dead or alive. The driver saw the stranger and hence decided to take me to the hospital to avoid any involvement of the police.On the way to the hospital his driver tried to threaten me by saying "Don't involve police in this because anyway you know how well connected CHICHU BHAI (Ashwajit) is and you will not be able to do anything as I will take all the blame on me" After I reached the hospital I begged for my phone several times to get in touch with my family. He gave my phone and to call my sister only after the doctors insisted on informing my family.
Today I have just come out of anesthesia. My right leg is broken and I had to undergo surgery, had to put a rod in my right leg. I have bruises all over my body, my arms, my back and my stomach area is deeply scrapped.
I will be bedridden for minimum 3-4 months and after that I will have to take support to walk for another 6 months. I'm the prime earning member in my family. I still can't I was dating him for 4.5 years and he has not come to see me. It only makes everything more clear about his intentions of actually taking my life. Some of his friends are constantly coming to the hospital since 2 days influencing and threatening my sister cause I have filed FIR.
I'm really terrified. I'm very scared for my family and myself. I don't feel safe. I have lost all faith in humanity. I don't know if my life is ever going to be normal. Please pray for me. All I pray for is JUSTICE. I'm lying her helpless in the hospital. Unable to move, this pain in my leg and my other body parts is killing me."
