Surinder Mittal,a member of District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum,Jalandhar,was arrested by Phagwara police last night on the complaint of his wife for allegedly harassing and hurting her. He was sent to a day’s police remand today.
Mittal had been booked in September on the complaint of his wife Pooja Mittal. She had alleged that she was beaten by her husband,and her dowry including 50 tola gold was misappropriated. The enquiry was marked to the Women’s Cell.
Mittal’s counsel Vijay Sharma said the couple had got married 17 years ago. He claimed that Pooja had taken all her articles from Mittal’s house last year,and a false case had been registered.
The counsel added that Mittal had filed an application with Jalandhar Range DIG Narinderpal Singh in December regarding the transfer of his case to another official. Mittal had alleged that the SSP of Kapurthala district was his relative,but the two had strained relations due to a family dispute. Mittal feared that he may not get justice. Kapurthala SSP Rakesh Aggarwal said these apprehensions were baseless,as the case was registered on the complaint of Mittal’s wife.
