HIV+ man for action against wife who infected him

Tribune News Service, Ludhiana, June 8

A Machhiwara resident has sought criminal action against his wife for

allegedly infecting him with HIV. The woman allegedly came in contact

with the virus through her first husband.

Khanna SSP Gautam Cheema is looking into the matter.

The man claimed the woman, who is his second wife, had concealed the

fact that her first husband, who was a tuck driver, had died of AIDS.

He said he only came to know of this after he tested positive for HIV

along with his wife.

His wife was pregnant at the time. She had twins, which later died in

the womb.

The man claims that he then enquired from the woman's family and her

first in-laws and was shocked to learn that all of them knew about

the manner in which her first husband died. He wants his wife to be

booked for cheating.
