Raigarh: In Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, the husband told his wife- ‘You don’t look beautiful. You have less hair on your head, still you married me. But you got a 125 cc bike instead of 150. Go and bring 25 lakhs from your parents’ house.’ After this, the wife has lodged an FIR against her husband and 4 people from her in-laws’ side. The case is of Kotra Road police station area.
A 33-year-old woman from Jashpur was married to Kotra resident Rajiv Yadav on 11 June 2023 as per customs.

There, a zero FIR was registered and the case was transferred to Kotra Road police station. The woman says that her in-laws kept her mobile with them. Due to this, she was not able to talk to her parents. When she did not talk to her daughter for a long time, after about a month, the woman’s mother reached her in-laws’ house to meet her. It is alleged that the people from the in-laws’ side started abusing and insulting her mother. At this, the mother returned. After her departure, the people from the in-laws’ house started harassing her for complaining to her parents.
