IT company’s owner booked in dowry case
LUCKNOW: Owner of a city-based IT company was booked in a dowry harassment case on Friday. Victim Sonali (name changed) is an MBA
and has pursued studies at a prominent Pune-based institute. She got
married to 32-year-old Sachin Agarwal in February last year after
courtship of more than five years.
Sachin denied the allegations and said he was being falsely implicated.
"My wife is being influenced by somebody," said Agarwal, the managing
director of a small-size IT company located on the Sitapur Road. Agarwal
is also into real estate business and has constructed several
independent houses in Aliganj area.
According to the victim,
Sachin and his mother had been harassing her over dowry related demands
for past few months. Parents of the victim are settled in Jhansi and her
own an electronic good store.
Sonali shared that her parents
were of conservative views and instead of supporting, asked her to
handle the situation somehow.
"I have made up my mind before
approaching cops. I will find a job and live independently," she said.
Agarwal stays in the plush Sector B of Aliganj with his family.
Taufeeq Khan, in charge of Aliganj police station,
said: "The case had been registered and matter will be directed to
mahila thana (women police station) for mediation and further action."
Meanwhile, some women rights activists and friends have come out in support of Sonali.
