HYDERABAD: In a bid to prove his innocence of not engaging in an extramarital relationship with his sister-in-law, a Hyderabad-based man was forced to do Agnipareesksha. The incident happened in Mulugu village in Telangana state. The village heads decided to go the archetypal way after the brother of the man complained to the leaders about his doubts.

Amidst the burned cinder an iron rod will be placed. The grueling test will ensure victory only if the man takes out the iron rod from the searing remains. Unfortunately, after the act, the village heads declared defeat for the man and confirmed his relationship with his brother's wife. Meanwhile, the lady accused of extramarital affairs reached the police station with a complaint against the village heads.

The video is widely circulating in social media with the caption— Modern day Ramayana.

Agnipareeksha!
In a modern day version of Ramayana, a husband was made to jump into fire
in Mulugu #Telangana to prove his fidelity. Gangadhar was even made to remove a red hot spade from the fire to prove his innocence. Interestingly, it wasn’t his wife who suspected him.Cont: pic.twitter.com/zPSdKN1k82
