Meerut: Dowry harassment case against IPS officer

The officer is posted with the PAC in Delhi. The wife works with a private firm in Gurgaon, Haryana.

The FIR states that they both come from Meerut and got married on November 27, 2015.

The FIR states: “My father gave an Audi car, jewellery and many household articles at the time of marriage but my physical and mental harassment began within a month (of wedding)…. On the night of April 30, my husband brutally beat me…my in-laws remained mute spectators. They were pressing me to bring Rs 5 crore more from my father; he is no position to give (that amount).”

The IPS officer and the woman could not be contacted.

Meerut Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Narain Singh said: “This is a serious charge. We will talk to the higher-ups for arrest of those named in FIR if investigations find them guilty.”
