Telangana: A man from Telangana’s Banjarupally village is going viral after being seen taking the Agnipariksha-test by fire to prove that he did not have an affair with his elder brother’s wife (Bhabhi). The man’s brother took the case to the village panchayat, which ordered a fire test to prove his innocence.

As part of the Agnipariksha, the man is seen removing a hot iron rod from the burning coal, in a viral video.

The village heads, however, were dissatisfied with the test and forced the man to accept his “mistake,” according to sources. The man’s wife then approached the police.

She said to the police, “Her husband did the Agni test as told by the panchayat leaders. He did not get any burns on his hand. However, they are forcing him to admit that he did something wrong.”

He also claimed that the panchayat leaders took Rs. 11 lakhs by promising to solve the problem. According to this complaint, the police have opened an investigation.
