Chhindwara, June 24 (HS). In Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh, taking membership of BJP and campaigning in favour of the party was so distasteful to the in-laws of a Muslim woman that they not only beat her up but also threw her out of the house. Not only this, the husband divorced her by saying Talaq three times. The victim woman has lodged a complaint against her husband and in-laws in the city Kotwali police station. The woman has also accused her in-laws of demanding five lakh rupees in dowry. On the complaint of the woman, the police have registered a case against her husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. The police took the accused into custody after investigating the case. At present, interrogation is going on.
Kotwali police station in-charge Umesh Golhani said on Monday that the victim Ishrat Sheikh, a resident of Royal Chowk, has complained that she was married to Abdul Asif Mansoori. After marriage, her husband, mother-in-law and four sisters-in-law started torturing her physically and mentally by pressuring her to bring five lakh rupees in dowry from her parents' house. She was thrown out of the house. She is living in a rented house with her son. During this time, her husband Abdul Asif Mansoori beat her up and broke the relationship by saying triple talaq. On the complaint of the victim woman, the police have registered a case against her husband Abdul Asif Mansoori and other members of her family under sections 498A, 294, 34, section 3/4 of the Dowry Act and section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019.
Victim Ishrat Sheikh told in her complaint that influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, she had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. In the Lok Sabha elections, she campaigned for the BJP candidate and voted for him. When my husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to know about this, they came to my house and after beating me, my husband broke the relationship by saying triple talaq. Ishrat says that her husband had sent a court notice during February-March, but she did not take it. After this, I replied through a lawyer.
While lodging a complaint with the police, Ishrat Sheikh said that she was married to Abdul Asif Mansoori in 2015. A few months after the marriage, she came to know that Asif was already married and he also has a son. The woman said that during this time I was pregnant, so I forgot everything. During this time, after getting married to Ishrat, I also had a son. After marriage, the husband, mother-in-law and four sisters-in-law were pressuring her to bring five lakh rupees in dowry from her parents' house. When she did not bring it, they were torturing her physically and mentally. The woman said that she was also thrown out of the house. Therefore, she is living in a rented house with her son. During this time, husband Abdul Asif Mansoori reached her rented house and broke the relationship by beating her and saying triple talaq.
Ishrat Sheikh has told in her complaint to the police that she always voted for Congress, but this time when she voted for BJP, her husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law got angry and said that you should not have voted for BJP. Voting for BJP is against Islam. Muslims always vote for Congress. I always voted for Congress, this time I voted for BJP. The woman said that I also joined BJP. Due to this, they beat me up and divorced me.
