A Senior software engineer working with a multi-national company at Mohali, was arrested by the Punjab police here for allegedly torturing his doctor wife for dowry.
The police said the accused, Vikram Khorana, was wanted after his wife got a case registered at the Mohali police station for allegedly torturing her.
The FIR, registered under Section 498-A and 406 of the Criminal Procedure Code CrPC, also listed Vikram8217;s mother Renu Khorana and father Ram Singh Khorana as accused.
Following the rejection of his anticipatory bail, Vikram, who was working in Quark Media House at Mohali, had come to Jammu to evade arrest. His father Ram Singh and mother Renu had, however, got anticipatory bail from the court.
The police, after receiving specific information, raided his father8217;s house at Sector 5 of the Channi Himmat area and arrested him.
Vikram had married Dr Upasana name changed in November 2007 and according to reports, her greedy husband, along with the in-laws, started harassing her from day one demanding cash and gift items.
Things went overboard when Renu8217;s in-laws asked her to go to her parents8217; house and arrange money for buying a flat for Vikram in Chandigarh. As she refused, Renu was badly beaten and was thrown out of the house. She spent the night while sitting outside the house and later went to the police.
The police tried to sort out differences, but as all efforts failed, an FIR was registered against the accused.
