Arrest of Arjun’ s grandson stayed

Allahabad: The Allahabad High Court on Monday stayed the arrest of the grandson, son and three other members of Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh’s family in an alleged dowry harassment case.

Justices Imtiyaz Murtaza and V.K. Verma also asked the U.P. Government and the complainant Madhvendra Singh to file their counter-affidavits. Mr. Madhvendra Singh had lodged an FIR in Chandausi police station in Moradabad on July 29 alleging that his daughter Priyanka, who is married to the Union Minister’s grandson Abhijeet Singh, was tortured and harassed for dowry by her husband and in-laws. — PTI
