Husband's Demand For Rs 15 Lakh
For the first few months, the accused husband started harassing his second wife to bring money from her home. He told her that he wanted to give Rs 15 lakh to her first wife for divorce. He then demanded that his wife have physical relations with his boss at an office party. An argument broke out when she refused his demand and in anger, the husband beat her up, gave her triple talaq and forced her out of the house.
When the victim returned to her home, she filed a case against her husband at the Jinsi police station in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar on December 19. However, since the crime took place in Kalyan city, it was transferred to the Bazarpet police station on December 20. After that, a complaint was filed at the Bazarpet police station in Kalyan.
