The incident happened in 2015 but was only recently publicised after the police finally accepted the case.
Mohsin, of Bulandshahr, who is known to be a gambling addict, reportedly placed his whole family at stake during a game. However, he lost the match and the winner, a man known only as Imran, went to Mohsin’s house to collect the prize.
The wife, whose name was not revealed, screamed for help. After hearing the commotion, neighbours immediately called a panchayat - or a village council - to fix the issue.
The panchayat suggested that the wife give one child to the man instead of taking all of them. She subsequently demanded a divorce from the man, whom she married in 2012, and tried to file a legal complaint against him. The woman is planning to remarry a younger man from a different part of New Delhi.
