IFS officer refutes allegations by spouse in dowry-related case
The Hindu
IFS officer Nitin Subhash Yeola, against whom the Cubbon Park police had registered an FIR for dowry related harassment based on a complaint by his wife Karnataka cadre IPS officer Vartika Katiyar, has refuted all the allegations against him. In his statement to the police, a copy of which is with The Hindu, he has made a point by point rebuttal.
Calling the complaint ‘an afterthought’ and ‘malicious’, Yeola questioned its timing. The couple had tied the knot in 2011. In her complaint, Katiyar alleged harassment in the initial days of the marriage. “She did not ever report any of the allegations from 2011 till date,” said Yeola, in his statement. The couple have filed for divorce and are locked in an access and custody battle for their eight-year-old son.More Related News
