What can happen if a samosa craving is not fulfilled? In Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, a bizarre domestic dispute turned violent after a woman allegedly thrashed her husband for failing to bring with him the crispy, fried snack.
According to News 18, the incident unfolded in the Puranpur area of Pilibhit when a woman named Sangeeta expressed her desire to eat a samosa. Despite her demand, her husband, Shivam, returned home on 30 August, empty-handed, sparking an argument that quickly escalated.
When the intense quarrel refused to die down, Sangeeta reportedly called her parents, Usha and Ramladate, to her home. Together, they allegedly abused and assaulted both Shivam and his father, Vijay Kumar.
As the tensions escalated, Vijay Kumar, Shivam's father and a resident of the Anandpur village in Bhagwantapur, Pilibhit district, took the matter to the Panchayat the next day.
On 31 August, a panchayat was held in the presence of former village head Awadhesh Sharma to discuss the situation and take necessary steps.
Initially, the matter seemed to be moving towards a settlement. But the matter remained unresolved.
Vijay later registered a complaint with the police and demanded action, according to News 18. In the FIR, the elderly person said that he got his son married to Sangeeta on 22 May under the jurisdiction of the Sehramau North Police Station.
On 30 August, his daughter-in-law asked her husband to bring samosas. He claimed that the violence stemmed from Shivam somehow forgetting to bring the samosas, which made Sangeeta angry.
He added that she did not eat any food that night and initiated the heated argument.
Based on the complaint received at the Purnpur police station on 01.09.2025, a case has been registered under the relevant sections. Further legal proceedings are underway, informed Pilibhit police.
The injured individuals have been admitted to the hospital, and an investigation is underway.
