A kashmiri love story goes wrong as a man-turned-woman german immigrant files a case of fraud and cheating against his live-in partner
The story dates back to 2007 when German visited Kashmir as a tourist and stayed in a house boat. When the 37-year-old tourist walked into a Kashmiri art showroom in 2007, he was greeted by a 26-year-old smart, tall and hunky Kashmiri salesman with a traditional charm and warmth.
It was the proverbial love at first sight for the German. Initially the German man and the Kashmiri salesman became friends but soon both fell in love. An intimate relationship developed between the two and continued for a few years. This in the conservative society of Kashmir. Since gay marriage is not allowed in India, the German, who was born in Thailand and raised in Germany, proposed to take his Kashmiri lover to Berlin but the latter refused. Such was the intensity of their love that the German underwent a sex change just to marry his Kashmir partner.
Few years later, the German in his new avatar as a woman, proposed the Kashmiri to marriage. He began avoiding her at first and later blatantly refused to marry. Peeved by the snub, the German filed a case of fraud and cheating against his Kashmiri live-in partner.
The tourist in love showered his beau with expensive gifts and allegedly paid over Rs 33 lakh to him to renovate his house and buy a second hand car. As the intimacy deepened, the German began being invited to attend family functions at the kashmiri's. “He had promised to marry the German and extracted over Rs 33 lakh through different means. Later on when the German returned to Srinagar, he was not allowed to put up at the house of the accused.
The incident was addressed to the police, who investigated the case and filed a charge-sheet under section 420 RPC. Final arguments of the case are due and we are hoping the judgement will be in our favour,” said Mohammad Abdullah Pandit, the plaintiff's counsel.
The complainants have now moved a fresh application before the court praying to add section 377 RPC (unnatural sex) in the case against the accused. “I have already moved an application that it should not be 376, it should be section 377 RPC”, said Pandit.
