"I have been tortured both mentally and physically by my husband. He has been torturing me for several years. I have been in the relationship just for the betterment of my children," the woman said in the video. 

But this man refuses to do the needful for my living, she added. 

“Kindly help me, because this man will torture me mentally and end up my life. If I don’t get justice I will end up tomorrow in the streets of Khar. Please give me justice,” the woman is heard saying in the video.

She further alleged that despite registering an FIR, police have not taken any action against her husband.

Mumbai Police responded to the post saying "DCP Zone 9 is looking into the matter."

A senior police official said the woman and her husband had a domestic dispute.

"The couple has three children and stay in a duplex apartment in Khar. While the husband and two kids stay on the eleventh floor, the woman along with their daughter stay on the 12th floor," the officer said.

He said the woman has recently registered two cases against her husband.

"One case was registered for house breaking, while another for criminal intimidation," he said, adding police is probing the matter and whatever action is needed will be taken.
