Saweety Boora, a celebrated Indian boxer, is making headlines amid a tumultuous divorce from her husband, Deepak Niwas Hooda, a former captain of the Indian Kabbadi team. The couple, who married on July 7, 2022, has been embroiled in a public dispute that has raised serious allegations and sparked widespread media attention.
Recently, Boora took to social media to accuse Hooda of being interested in men, sharing a tearful video in which she expressed her distress over the situation. "I didn’t want to say anything inappropriate, but I feel compelled to share that he has shown an interest in men. I was shocked when I came across videos of him with other men. I never intended to go down this path, but I will present all the evidence in court," she stated in the emotional video.
In her video, Boora claimed that despite her warnings, Hooda continued his behavior, leading her to take legal action. She expressed her frustration, saying, "I initially wanted a simple divorce, but now I am left with no choice." She emphasized her readiness to provide evidence in court, stating, "I have all the videos and proof, which I will submit to the court. I will show everything he made me go through." This revelation marks a dramatic turn in their relationship, which was once filled with shared social media posts showcasing their affection.
On February 25, 2025, Boora filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Hooda, accusing him of dowry harassment and domestic violence. She alleged that he demanded a luxury car and physically assaulted her over monetary demands. The police registered the case under Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. According to the SHO of the women's police station where the FIR was lodged, "A demand for a luxury car was made and met, but her husband beats her, also raises monetary demand." This serious charge has added another layer of complexity to their already strained relationship.
Following the filing of the FIR, Hooda received multiple notices from the police but failed to appear, citing a medical certificate and requesting a later date for his appearance. He expressed his trauma over the situation, stating, "I have submitted a medical certificate and requested a later date. I will certainly go there (to the police station) but I won't make a negative comment against my wife. I have not been allowed to meet her."
In a disturbing incident, a video surfaced showing Boora physically confronting Hooda inside a police station, where she was seen grabbing him by the throat. Family members intervened to separate the couple during the heated exchange. This incident has drawn further scrutiny and criticism, highlighting the volatile nature of their relationship.
Both Boora and Hooda are recognized athletes, having received the esteemed Arjuna Award for their contributions to sports in India. Boora, 32, is a formidable boxer, having won a gold medal at the 2023 World Boxing Championship and multiple medals at the Asian Championships. Her accolades also include a silver medal in 2014 and a Bhim Award from the Haryana government in 2017.
Hooda, on the other hand, is celebrated for his achievements in Kabbadi, including being part of the team that won the 2016 Kabbadi World Cup and securing gold in the 2017 Asian Kabbadi Championship. His prowess on the field has made him a prominent figure in Indian sports.
Despite their individual successes, the couple's personal lives are now under intense scrutiny. Boora's allegations have sparked discussions about domestic violence and the treatment of women in sports, with many rallying behind her for speaking out. Her decision to go public with such personal matters reflects a growing trend among women to challenge societal norms and demand accountability.
The fallout from this situation is still unfolding, with both parties' reputations at stake. As Boora prepares to present her evidence in court, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile case. The incident has not only captured the attention of sports fans but also raised awareness about the serious issues of domestic violence and harassment.
As the legal proceedings continue, one can only hope that both Saweety Boora and Deepak Niwas Hooda find a resolution to their conflicts. The sporting community and fans alike are watching closely, recognizing that the implications of this case extend beyond their personal lives and touch on broader societal issues.
In a world where athletes are often idolized, their struggles remind us that they are human too, facing challenges that can sometimes overshadow their achievements. The outcome of this case may set a precedent for how similar issues are handled in the future, particularly within the realm of sports.
As of now, the spotlight remains on Saweety Boora and Deepak Niwas Hooda, with the hope that justice will prevail in this troubling saga.
