Police arrest NRI for `dowry harassment'

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: The city police on Tuesday arrested a Non-Resident Indian G. Raghunandan on charge of harassing his younger brother Naveen's wife, G.S. Laxmi for additional dowry. Ms. Laxmi approached Women Protection Cell of Hyderabad Detective Department recently alleging that her husband, also a NRI living in New Jersey (USA), and her in-laws used to harass her for additional dowry.

The woman from Raichur of Karnakata got married to Naveen of Hyderabad three years ago. While her husband left for America soon after marriage, she lived in the house of her in-laws for 14 months and then flew to America.

In New Jersey, Naveen, Laxmi, Raghunandan and his wife Lavanya used to live in the same apartment.

"Laxmi also charged that her husband was impotent and Raghunandan tried to exploit her but these allegations are being probed into," the WPC Sub-Inspector J. Ushasri said.

Raghunandan recently brought her back to the city and left her at the latter's relatives' house a fortnight ago. Police said a case was booked under section 498-A (dowry harassment) of IPC against Naveen, his mother Bharatamma living in city, Raghunandan and Lavanya.
