Tevathia wrote she is posted with the Delhi Police and is on maternity leave. “I am constantly facing abuse from my husband, Tarun Dabas. Today he beat me in broad daylight. Please ensure action…,” she alleged in her tweet.
On Monday, Tevathia said she and her family have filed three complaints against Dabas so far. “Police didn’t register a case till December. My husband wanted dowry and would fight with me. I have been living with my family for three months now. He comes and beats us up… and harasses us. Yesterday, he first hit our car and then abused my mother and me,” she alleged.
Police have now booked Dabas under sections of voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint, mischief (causing damage) and criminal intimidation based on a complaint filed by the SI and her brother Sumit Kumar.
In the complaint, Kumar alleged Dabas assaulted him as well on several occasions in September. “I was attacked on September 4 by Dabas and the 5-7 goons he brought with him. I made PCR calls and was somehow saved by police. A complaint in this regard was also given to the office of the Joint Commissioner of Police, Rohini, New Delhi… I asked police to ensure my and my family’s safety… On September 11, Dabas brought nearly 15 goons along with him in three cars and tried to attack me and my family at my home. I again… called for the police help,” he alleged in the complaint.
Police said they are looking into the SI’s earlier complaints.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Commission for Women took suo motu cognizance of the video and sought a detailed action taken report and a copy of the FIR from police.
