Further, it was alleged that she informed her husband and he took her and admitted to the Government Hospital, Coimbatore. It was further alleged that said occurrence was taken place on 10.01.2025 at about 3.00 p.m., and a communication received by the 1st respondent from the Government Hospital, Coimbatore, the 1st respondent proceeded to the Government Hospital and after recording the statement from the 2nd respondent-defacto complainant, the 1st respondent registered the FIR on
