UP News: A strange case emerged in Uttar Pradesh's Sitapur in which a man alleged that his wife turned into a nagin (female serpent)) at night and scared him. He approached the Sitapur District Magistrate (DM) with an unusual complaint.

The complainant claimed that he can't sleep at night out of fear as his wife "turns into a nagin". On the other hand, his wife accused her husband of harassment for dowry.

Wife Mentally Unstable: Complainant

In a written complaint submitted to District Magistrate Abhishek Anand during a Samadhan Diwas' (public grievance redressal day) on October 4, the complainant, Meraj from Lodhasa village in Mahmudabad tehsil, sought help from the authorities. "My wife, Nasimun, is mentally unstable and spends the nights pretending to be a nagin, hissing and scaring me," he added.

Meraj alleged that despite his repeated pleas, local police failed to take action in the matter, forcing him to approach the district administration for help.

The officials present at the grievance redressal programme were reportedly taken aback by the unusual complaint, even as the District Magistrate directed police to look into the matter and take appropriate action. We have received a complaint and the matter is under investigation, a police official said.
