Delhi:
Mohammad Shahid, a 28-year-old man in Delhi, has got married to Zarina, a divorcee on October 10, 2009. Four months after the marriage, Zarina's father Hafiz Ahmad took his daughter home and complained against Shahid in the dowry cell of the Delhi Police.
"We had married against Hafiz's wishes. Apart from dowry, he also alleged that Zarina took jewellery and cash while going with me and demanded it back. Hafiz never brings Zarina to the hearings in the dowry case. She wants to live with me," said Shahid.
Shahid also claimed that Hafiz threatened to kill the couple's unborn child, if he does not pay up.
"Acting on my complaint, the police have asked Hafiz to produce all the papers regarding medical check-ups and scans of four-month pregnant Zarina by July 29," Shahid said.
"So far we have found no incriminating evidence against Shahid. We are investigating the case from all angles," said an officer attached to the dowry cell.
Hafiz, a local politician, has also contested elections to the MCD from Sadar Bazar.
"Though he got 56 votes in all, Hafiz claims that he has political connections and can ruin my life," Shahid alleged.
Hafiz rubbished his "former" son-in-law's claims, saying Shahid had "misled" his daughter into marrying him. "He was harassing her for dowry and as a father I protected my daughter. The case is on and I hope I will get justice for Zarina," Hafiz said.
