Vapi Man Accused of Abandoning Wife and Children Following Family Dispute; Case Reported in Chiri
Vapi, Gujarat: A bone-chilling incident of domestic horror and abandonment has surfaced from the high-end ‘Malhabar Hills’ society in the Chiri area of Vapi. A helpless mother of two has moved the Dungra Police Station to file a formal complaint against her husband and mother-in-law for months of systematic physical and mental torture. In a shocking display of cowardice, the husband, influenced by his mother’s toxic “second marriage” demands, has abandoned his young children and wife without a single rupee for survival, fleeing to an unknown location.
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the industrial town of Vapi remains shocked as details of this domestic tragedy emerged. The victim, identified as Iffatben Chaudhary, has detailed a nightmare where her role as a wife and mother was trampled upon by the very people meant to protect her. The Dungra Police have launched a high-priority investigation into this case of extreme cruelty and desertion.
A Mother-In-Law’s Evil Plot: “Leave This Wife And Marry Again”
The root of this domestic disaster lies in the constant toxic instigation by the mother-in-law, Femidaben Hamid Chaudhary. According to the police complaint, Femidaben spent her days poisoning the mind of her son, Maruf—a driver by profession—against his wife. She reportedly pressured Maruf constantly to discard Iffatben, openly telling him, “Leave this wife once and for all and get married to someone else.”
Under this relentless pressure, Maruf’s behavior turned predatory and violent. Instead of providing for his family, he became a puppet in his mother’s hands, subjecting Iffatben to brutal physical beatings. The domestic atmosphere at their Malhabar Hills residence became a living hell, where the victim was treated as an unwanted burden rather than a life partner.
Shattered Birthday: Heartless Father Throws Away Daughter’s Cake In Fit Of Rage
The sheer lack of humanity in the household was most evident on July 3, 2024, the birthday of the couple’s young daughter. When Iffatben requested Maruf to bring a cake for their child’s special day, the stone-hearted father flatly refused. Desperate to see a smile on her daughter’s face, Iffatben used her meager personal savings to order a cake herself.
In a display of monstrous cruelty, Maruf reportedly snatched the birthday cake and threw it away, destroying his daughter’s celebration and shattering the mother’s heart. While Iffatben briefly fled to her parental home in Mumbai to escape the terror, she eventually returned to Vapi hoping for a reconciliation for the sake of her two children (a son and a daughter). However, the cycle of abuse only intensified upon her return.
Economic Terrorism: Husband Stops All Food And Expense Money For Kids
As the torture escalated, Maruf resorted to “economic terrorism” by completely cutting off all financial support for the household. Despite knowing that his children needed food, education, and basic necessities, he refused to provide even a single rupee for daily expenses. Iffatben was left to scramble for resources while facing constant mental pressure and taunts from her mother-in-law.
This calculated move was designed to break the victim’s spirit and force her out of the house. The children, innocent victims in this parental war, were left in a state of neglect as their father prioritized his mother’s malicious whims over his biological duties. The house in Chiri, meant to be a sanctuary, turned into a prison of poverty and fear.
The Great Escape: Husband Packs Bags And Flees On January 10
The climax of this tragic saga occurred in the early hours of January 10, 2026. At dawn, Maruf forcefully woke Iffatben and attempted to physically push her out of the house, demanding she return to Mumbai permanently. When Iffatben stood her ground to protect her children’s home, a violent altercation broke out.
Realizing he could not force her out, Maruf took a cowardly exit. He packed his clothes and personal belongings, abandoned his crying children, and fled the house. Since that morning, he has blocked his wife’s phone number and disappeared. Left with no money for food or rent and two young children to care for, a distraught Iffatben finally approached the Dungra Police on Monday to seek justice.
Dungra Police Action: Criminal Charges Filed Against Husband and Mother-In-Law
The Dungra Police have taken serious note of Iffatben Chaudhary’s ordeal. An official First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against the husband, Maruf, and the mother-in-law, Femidaben, under various sections pertaining to domestic violence, mental harassment, and criminal intimidation.
Police teams have been dispatched to track Maruf’s location, and Femidaben is being questioned regarding her role in the desertion and harassment. This case has sparked a wider conversation in Vapi about the safety of women in domestic settings and the devastating impact of “family-induced” divorces. The authorities have vowed to ensure that Maruf is brought back to fulfill his legal and financial obligations toward his minor children.
