Allegedly thrown out by her husband, a woman has been waiting for justice since the past three years.
Allegedly thrown out by her husband, a woman has been waiting for justice since the past three years.
Mousumi Mukherjee, a native of Kolkata, said that she would get justice, even if delayed.
The woman said she married Ranjith Kumar Lall against her parents’ wishes in 1999. Marital disputes cropped up between the two a few years after the marriage.
Mousumi claimed that her husband was the brother of Jessica Lall, a model and celebrity barmaid, shot dead in Delhi on April 29, 1999.
The couple had been living in a Koramangala flat, reportedly taken on rent by an IT major, Lall’s employer.
According to case records, Lall allegedly asked her to return to Kolkata to recuperate from a surgery she had undergone in October 2005. However, when she came back to Bangalore after six months, she was forcefully admitted to a health facility.
She managed to get out of the facility a week later and reached their Koramangala flat to find her belongings missing. Left on her own, Mousumi struggled to make both ends meet.
“My mistake was that I married against my parents’ wishes. I fell in love with a person, for whom personal pleasure was above everything else. He filed for divorce in 2007. I was not offered any money,” Mousumi said.
She defaulted on the rent, and the landlord served a notice. Mousumi managed to get a court order, favouring her return to her matrimonial home.
Mousumi also had to battle her deteriorating health. “I am suffering from a spinal chord injury and other ailments. I am undergoing Ayurvedic treatment for my backache,” she said.
She now has no means to sustain herself. “I am virtually on the road. There is no income, since I am unable to take up any job due the injury. I am still undergoing treatment, which costs me a lot. There is nobody to support me,” she lamented.
“She has been subjected to mental trauma. He (Lall) continued to torture her. He has been accused of a wayward lifestyle, ever since she fell ill in 2005,” KS Nagesh, her lawyer, said.
A case of domestic violence was filed against Lall, but the police was of little help, she said.
Still, Mousumi sounded positive: “The cases are still pending before the courts and I am awaiting justice, which may be delayed. But I am confident that justice will finally favour me.”
