A married woman from Harmara area staged a sit-in outside her in-laws’ house on Monday alleging that she had been thrown out of the house by them. The woman stayed out of the house even after the local police persuaded her to end the sit-in. The woman had been thrown out and a case was registered against her last year by the in-laws while she had also registered a case against them.

The married woman Rekha (name changed) has even written letters to the police, local legislators and politicians from the Congress party to come to her aid. Speaking to DNA, Rekha said, “I was thrown out of the house last year by in-laws who claimed that I had stolen valuable items from home. They even harassed me and my brother in law used to misbehave with me for which a case was also registered.”

In the letter, however, the woman mentioned that she was tortured as she could not give them a child. However, on Monday, the woman started a sit-in outside the house. “When my in-laws saw me, they closed the doors from inside. The cops also came but they also asked them to remain behind doors and left me here on the road outside the house,” she alleged.

However, station house officer of Harmara police station Lakhan Singh Khatan claimed that there was no one in the house. “There has been a death in the woman’s in-laws’ family for which the family has gone after locking the house. The woman has herself put a lock on the door. There is a case already going on in the court wherein both the parties have registered against each other. We received a call from the woman and she even called the control room and DCP office informing about the sit-in. We sent a team who tried to talk to her but she did not budge from her stand. There are a few men with her who keep instigating her,” the SHO said.
