Sheikhpura man held for brutal dowry assault after love marriage
P atna: In a shocking case of domestic violence and dowry harassment, a man from Sheikhpura was arrested on Sunday for allegedly torturing his wife following their love marriage. The accused, Shivam Kumar (24), allegedly assaulted his wife, cut her hair and shaved her eyebrows with a blade while demanding a dowry. The 20-year-old victim had married Shivam at a temple in Jamui on April 10 this year. The couple enjoyed a harmonious relationship for the first month, but tensions soon escalated when Shivam and his family allegedly began pressuring her for a dowry of Rs 5 lakh. Estranged from her own family after eloping, the woman was unable to meet the demands, leading to repeated abuse. The situation reached a breaking point on June 20 when Shivam allegedly attempted to kill her. The woman managed to escape and lodged a complaint at the women's police station the same day. Following her report, police launched a manhunt and arrested Shivam in Lakhisarai on Sunday. A police officer said, "The victim's ordeal began when she met Shivam through social media one year ago. Their relationship blossomed, but her family opposed the union. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Senior Living Homes in Palembang May Surprise You Senior Living | Search Ads Undo Defying her family's wishes, she eloped with Shivam and married him in a temple, only to face abuse shortly after." Women's police station in-charge Anamika Kumari said, "The victim met Shivam through social media a year ago. They started talking and, six months later, began meeting each other. Both informed their families about the relationship. The girl's family opposed it and refused to accept the relationship." Distressed by her family's disapproval, the young woman eloped and married Shivam at a temple in the Sikandra police station area in Jamui. She then moved in with Shivam's family in Sheikhpura, who initially accepted her. "All was well for about a month," Kumari said. "However, at the beginning of June, her husband and in-laws began demanding ₹5 lakh as dowry. The woman told them that she had severed ties with her family, who had stopped speaking to her after she ran away. She asked how she could possibly provide the money. In response, her in-laws began verbally abusing her," she added. Disputes over the dowry increased between the couple. On June 20, in a fit of rage, Shivam allegedly beat her severely. "Not satisfied, her husband then cut her hair with scissors and shaved her eyebrows with a blade. Terrified by this behaviour, she managed to escape from her in-laws' house and reached the women's police station, where she filed a complaint. She then returned to her parental home in Nawada," the station in-charge added. Shivam is set to be presented before the court on July 28.
