A very Indian drama: a lover gave himself away because of vegetarianism (9 photos)
I love this crime drama set in India because it has a lot of Indian flavor. It has a husband, wife, lover and vegetarianism!
What's happened
One morning, a woman named Swati burst into the hospital crying, holding the arm of a man whose face was disfigured.
She cried that it was her husband Sudhakar, who had been thrown acid in the face by unknown people right on the street.
The family was successful and fairly wealthy
The man was immediately treated and his face bandaged. Soon the couple's relatives arrived - the parents and brothers of the crippled husband. He barely whispered in a choked voice to all the family’s questions, although the doctor said that the tongue cords were not damaged. Which only made the family more worried.
And then mom came
Because of the burn, the truth may not be known, and also the mask
That is, the mother-in-law of an inconsolable wife. And she brought her son’s favorite lamb soup. But he suddenly refused his mother’s soup, he said that he only eat vegetarian food.
And in India, vegetarians are officially 40%; some say that during periods of poverty, up to 80% of the population inevitably become vegetarians.
Lamb soup with flatbread - looks as non-vegetarian as possible
And it seems that this should not be strange... But the family of Swati and Sudhakar was not poor, she did everything to live with dignity, she worked as a nurse in a hospital. And they allowed themselves to eat well, which was a source of pride for the family.
Of course, the son's refusal of lamb soup shook the family even more than his injury.
Indians say that when it's hot you don't even want meat. But as soon as they start earning normally, the heat suddenly ceases to be a hindrance

The family sensed some kind of setup and began asking personal questions regarding relatives. The patient tried to pretend that he was feeling really bad.
The family refused to pay for treatment and called the police.
Tough, but fair, because yes, it was not the husband.
What sophistication!
A photo from an Indian news site of a wife in black crying for her dead husband, saying that it was all a lover. That's right, he's ugly now
It was Rajesh, Swati's lover. Together they came to the decision to throw acid on Rajesh's face in order to make him unrecognizable and pass him off as her husband.
Swati's husband and Rajesh were taken to the forest in advance and killed. So that no one would guess, the very next morning they staged the play “someone poured acid on my husband’s face.”
Revenge with acid is also VERY common in India, they just attack girls most often
Only the man was ready to commit a crime for the sake of his beloved, but he couldn’t give up a vegetarian diet! Most likely, he was on it for religious reasons, which is why he adhered to it so zealously.
But now the vegetable soup lover and his accomplice have been sent to prison after police quickly split them up. Not believing that a wife could confuse her husband with someone else just because of a disfigured face.
Swati, by the way, later escaped from police surveillance, convincing everyone that she knew nothing. And she was released on parole while further proceedings are ongoing. It was then that instantly there was no trace of her.
She conspired with her lover to kill her husband. LET'S RELEASE HER ON HONOR
The husband is in the grave, the wife is on the run, the disfigured lover is in prison.
But he could eat lamb, not show off, have someone else’s wife and house.
That's why this story is so purely Indian. Along with the one I already wrote about, where the husband put a cobra in his wife’s bed. Twice.
