Synopsis:
Provoked is based on the real life story of a woman NRI Kiran Ahluwalia who showed
exemplary courage after suffering physical, mental and sexual torture for ten
long years.
Then, she thought of making her husband Deepak realize at least for once the suffering
she has been passing through. She planned to burn the feet of her husband so that
the latter is unable to run after her and thus torture her.
She tried to put fire to his bed while he was asleep at night. Since Deepak got
up, Kiran threw the burning matchstick on Deepak's bed. This injured Deepak seriously
and he died after ten days of hospitalization.
Kiran was arrested for murdering her husband. The court ordered life imprisonment
for her, ignoring the husband's torture of Kiran for ten years.
An NGO working among South Asian women named South hall Black Sisters, appealed
to the court for revision of the order. The court reduced her sentence to three
years and three months. Kiran was released from the prison on September 25th,
1992.
