Man loses wife, two kids over gambling in India

Wife decides to divorce Mohsin while filing a police complaint against him and five other men

A husband put his wife and two kids on stake while gambling and lost all three in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Imran, who won, went to Mohsin’s house and forced his wife to come with him while the wife protested and screamed which led the elders of the village to get involved.

The members of the panchayat (village council) decided that one child should be given to the winner. Imran agreed and took one child away.



This incident was too much for the wife to handle that she decided to divorce Mohsin while filing a police complaint against him and five other men.

Mohsin got married to her in 2012 and gave birth to two sons. Mohsin was a gambling addict and lost his loved ones in 2015 due to this habit.



The women married a Chandorh based youth, after divorcing Mohsin. After two years, she felt frustrated and filed a petition nin CJM court.

The court ordered police to register a case against the accused yesterday. The issue is now under investigation as police has set up a team to trace the hiding-accused.
