The dispute is purely matrimonial and a matter between two individuals, the veteran Parliamentarian said.
The police in Madhya Pradesh have registered an FIR against Odisha's senior BJD MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, his wife and their son, after their daughter-in-law alleged harassment for dowry, an official said in Bhopal on Thursday. Mr Mahtab claimed in Bhubaneswar that his daughter-in-law had stayed with his son for just 5/6 days after their marriage in 2016 and the case filed in Bhopal could be an afterthought. His daughter-in-law lodged a complaint at a women police station in Bhopal on Tuesday, saying that her family had spent a huge sum on her wedding and that she was allegedly being harassed for dowry, the official said. The police have registered a case against the MP and his family members under various sections of the IPC and the Dowry Prohibition Act.More Related News
