If you had killed any living thing - you get Maha-Rowravam and here, in addition to the punishment in Rowravam, the creatures eat your flesh and force to eat your own flesh too.
4. Having sex with others' wife will land you in a Hell where you will be burnt like a brick in the hearth.
5. Torturing Mom/Dad/Brahmins will land in Kalasuthra Hell. This hell is surrounded by fire on all four sides. The floor is covered in copper and sun above the head. The person will be burnt by the heat and fire and will be made to beg for pardon in pain every second he is in there.

10. Having sex with others' wife/husband and cheaters will land into the same, with a twist. They will be forced to hug a red-hot doll(a girl has to hug a boy-doll and vice versa).
11. A person who arouses others to detract from Dharma / advices against Dharma will land into Vaidharani. It is an ocean containing Sharks, Crocodiles, and other dangerous creatures. The ocean is not filled with water, but with Blood, Urine, Shit, Pus Flesh, Hair and bogeys.
12. A Person who uses his power to torture his people/does not use the power for goodness and such will land into Saarameyayaathanam. Here the person is bitten by dogs with sharp teeth all his life in there.

There are various other punishments for various other misdeeds/wrong-doings too, which are not mentioned here. Please note that for all kind of sins, there are punishments and all sinners will be punished according to their sin.
Bahagavatam says - the reason for explaining the types of punishments is to bring fear of doing sin in the hearts of the people and to prevent them from doing so. Thanks for reading and I will be back for more such posts. Cheers.
