Alleging harassment for dowry, a woman has lodged a police complaint against her husband and in-laws on February 14. Her father-in-law happens to be a retired assistant commissioner of police (ACP).
Apart from demanding dowry, the victim has alleged, her husband had also forced her into having unnatural sex with him. The complainant has further claimed that her in-laws had been threatening her with some obscene photographs that they had taken of her.
The accused have been identified as Balaji Jadhav, the ex-ACP, his wife Indumati Jadhav and their son Sagar.
According to the MHB Colony police, the complainant lived with her in-laws in Borivli (W) but their relationship started souring in 2005 when the family began demanding dowry. “She said since she failed to comply with their demands, they took obscene photographs of her on their mobile phones and threatened her. She was also assaulted,” a police officer said.
Sources said the victim’s parents, residents of Ahmednagar, had filed a complaint with the Kopar Gaon police. “The case was transferred to the MHB Colony police as the incidents had taken place in their jurisdiction,” said Madhukar Awte, senior inspector of Kopar Gaon police station.
The MHB Colony police registered a case under sections 498A (husband or relative of husband subjecting the wife to cruelty), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 377 (unnatural offences), 376A (intercourse by a man with his wife during separation) and 384 (punishment for extortion) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of IT Act.
