The 40-year-old woman also accused her husband's family of harassing her for dowry.
A case in this regard has been registered with the Ghazipur (Indira Nagar) police of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday as she is a resident of the city.
She claimed that she was held hostage in the house and was released only after giving a written undertaking that she would not file any complaint against her husband and step-son.
The orphan woman was married to a retired IAS officer of Jammu and Kashmir cadre in 2020.
In her complaint, the victim alleged that her husband's first wife, her son-daughter and other members used to harass her for dowry.
"Over the past few years, the harassment increased manifold. I was held hostage in a room from April 11-14 and even starved. My husband's son snatched my mobile phone. Later, After he and his associate raped me, they agreed to release me,” she said.
Later the youth took the victim to Lucknow and threatened to kill her if she went to the police.
However, once in the city she gathered courage and lodged a complaint.
Northern Zone Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhijeet Shankar said an FIR has been registered and investigation is underway.
