Railway official files domestic violence case

AHMEDABAD: A 26-year-old woman from Gota area of the city, who works as junior engineer in Indian Railways , on Saturday filed a complaint of domestic violence (DV) with Sola High Court Police against her husband and in-laws for constant torturing her since after she got married with her boyfriend in March 2018.

The complainant, who currently works in Bhavnagar as junior engineer, married a boy whom she loved since her college days, in a Ghaziabad court on March 27, 2018. After their marriage, the couple shifted to Ajmer in Rajasthan where the woman was working last year.

Around a week after their marriage, her husband, who was unemployed, began asking for money from her to fulfil his daily requirements. The man had allegedly taken her debit and credit cards and started spending money on his lavish lifestyle, alleged the complaint, adding that he used to beat her if she ever resisted his spending.

As the woman had married against her family’s will, she continued to tolerate tortures of her husband. Moreover, her in-laws also began harassing her for demanding money from her father’s place. Aggrieved with harassment, the complainant returned to her father’s place in August 2018 and also filed an application with Sola High Court police but she later had to strike compromise in the case with her husband as he convinced her that he would take divorce from her and would not harass her.

But later, he once again started calling and threatening her due to which she filed the FIR with police.
