50-year-old woman from Naranpura in Ahmedabad file dowry case against lawyer husband, in-laws
Married in 2007 after a college romance, she told police that the trouble began soon after she moved into her in-laws' joint family home.
Her husband and father-in-law, both lawyers, allegedly abused her for bringing an "inadequate" dowry.
She claimed her husband secretly filmed their intimate moments and later used the videos to pressure her for money.
She alleged that after the birth of their daughter, the family demanded Rs 1 crore and allegedly forced alcohol on the infant during a trip to Mumbai. When she objected, she was told to promise dowry and not interfere in her husband's lifestyle. The woman also accused her husband of trying to defame her and seizing her legal documents.
A case has been filed under the Dowry Act, Juvenile Justice Act, IT Act, and relevant IPC sections.

6 Policemen Arrested For Constable's Custodial Torture In Jammu And Kashmir
Srinagar: The CBI on Wednesday arrested six police personnel, including at least two officers, in connection with the alleged custodial torture of a cop, following orders from the Supreme Court last month, officials said here on Wednesday. The arrested cops include a deputy superintendent of police, an inspector, and an assistant sub-inspector, officials said here. The accused cops were directed to submit their weapons and other government articles to the respective District Police Lines. One of the accused cops -- a special police officer working on an honorarium -- has been disengaged and struck off from Special Police Officer (SPO) rolls. Further details were awaited, the officials said. On July 21, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to register an FIR over the "brutal and inhuman custodial torture" of a police constable in Jammu and Kashmir and ordered the UT administration to pay him Rs 50 lakh in compensation. A bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said the injuries caused to the constable during his illegal detention, particularly the "complete mutilation of his genitalia, use of pepper/chilly powder and electric shocks on his genitalia", were grave reminders of the inhuman torture meted out to him. "The cumulative effect of all these facts is deeply shocking to the conscience of this court," the bench said, adding that the violation of Article 21 is "not only evident but egregious." The bench observed that the constable suffered life-debilitating injuries in the custody of "fellow state actors" and despite repeated complaints, no effective redressal was provided.

(ANI) He entered the Civil Lines bungalow, where the event was being held, with a piece of paper and a mobile phone, handed over the paper to the CM, hurled abuses and attacked her, police said. Senior police officers said he held CM's hands and jostled her. She suffered injuries to her hands and head. Delhi Police said Khimjibhai is a repeat offender with a criminal record of five cases, under IPC Section 326 (causing grievous hurt by a dangerous weapon/poisonous substance), Section 504 (Intentional insult causing quarrel or breach of peace), Section 114 (being present at the time of offence and assisting), and law related to liquor ban in Gujarat. He has been acquitted in four of the five cases. The cases were registered in Gujarat between 2017 and 2023. Police said he had four other police complaints against him linked to assault and liquor smuggling. A Delhi Police officer said, 'He is usually involved in bootlegging and assaults on known and unknown persons after getting drunk. We are checking his history and have asked Gujarat Police.' Police said he has been 'misleading' them on the motive of his attack. A second Delhi Police officer, who interrogated him, said, 'He first said his relative was in Tihar jail and he wanted justice for him, but that turned out to be bogus. His family knew he was in Delhi to support animal activists. His family also said he attacked the CM over the recent Supreme Court judgment on stray dogs. They claim he is an animal lover but he has not said anything about it.' 'We think this was a planned attack. He was sharing his details with someone else. We also found that for the past 24 hours, he was looking for ways to meet the CM. After Shalimar Bagh, he spent the night in Civil Lines area,' the officer said. Police said he reached Delhi on Monday, and on Tuesday night, the accused was staying near Gujarat Bhawan in Civil Lines. A purported video of CM's private residence in Shalimar Bagh shows the accused sitting along with other public persons. He later pulls out his phone and records video/photo of his surroundings. They are checking records to locate his accomplices and evidence of his participation in protests over the stray dog issue
