Family of 9 threatens suicide at Delhi Police HQ as cops ‘refuse to file FIR' over daughter's ‘dowry death'
A family of nine threatened to kill themselves in front of the Delhi Police Headquarters on Monday after officers allegedly refused to register a First Information Report (FIR) over their daughter's death, reportedly over dowry-related harassment. According to the deceased woman's father, she had allegedly died by suicide at her in-laws' house on April 5 after facing years of abuse and humiliation at the hands of her husband and his relatives. The police, meanwhile, said they are in the process of registering a case. Speaking to The Indian Express, Balveer, the woman's father, said she got married in March 2017. 'At the time, we spent Rs 15 lakh on her wedding and gave the groom's family Rs 2 lakh cash, along with a motorcycle, gold and silver jewellery. We also gave Rs 1.75 lakh cash for the groom to buy furniture, fridge and an airconditioner for their new house. We paid this huge sum on that family's demands,' he said. In a letter addressed to the Commissioner of Police, he further alleged that soon after the wedding, the woman's in-laws began harassing her routinely, seeking more dowry. 'They took away the gold and silver jewellery given to her during the wedding, saying that it was for safekeeping,' Balveer said. 'In the first week of January, her in-laws began pressuring her to ask us for another car. When my daughter said that we could not afford such a purchase, they began abusing her and demanding that we pay them an additional Rs 5 lakh for the wedding,' he added. Unable to take the pressure and harassment, the woman allegedly died by suicide on April 5. The woman's family alleged that despite their efforts, the police would not take their complaint, prompting them to threaten to take the drastic step in front of the police headquarters. Responding to the allegations, a senior police officer said they are registering a case under sections of cruelty and abetment of suicide. 'The family has submitted a written statement and we shall register a case based on that. The inquest proceedings were taking time, which is why there was a delay in registering the case,' the officer added.

Police hunting for man who assaulted lorry driver at Kempas toll plaza
JOHOR BARU: Police are tracking down a man who assaulted a lorry driver in a fit of rage after the latter honked at him at the Kempas Toll Plaza on the North-South Expressway last Sunday. The incident, which occurred at about 2.30pm, was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media. Johor Baru North police chief, Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh, said the video was first uploaded on Facebook before spreading widely online. "Police detected a video on Facebook showing a scuffle between two men at the Kempas Toll Plaza on the North-South Expressway," he said in a statement today. Balveer said a report on the incident was lodged the same day, June 8, at about 5.35pm, by the 31-year-old local man who was the victim and also the lorry driver. "Investigations revealed that the incident took place at about 2.30pm at the Kempas toll plaza. While waiting to pay the toll, the complainant honked at a Proton Wira in front of him that remained stationary despite the barrier having been lifted. "In response, an unidentified man exited the passenger side of the car and demanded that the complainant open his door. "When the door was opened, the man punched the complainant multiple times on the face and head. The complainant then defended himself by kicking the man out of the lorry," he said. Balveer said the incident is believed to have been triggered by the man's dissatisfaction at being honked at. He added that the complainant suffered pain at the back of his head as a result of the assault. The case is being investigated under Section 160 of the Penal Code for affray in a public place, which carries a jail term of up to six months, a fine of up to RM1,000, or both, upon conviction.
