Wife accuses Ghaziabad police officer of dowry harassment
Ghaziabad, May 14: The wife of a serving Police Inspector in Ghaziabad has accused him of torture and harassment for dowry, police said on Monday.
The accused police officer is posted as the Station House Officer (SHO) of Indirapuram Police Station in the city.
In a complaint to Ghaziabad Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Vaibhav Krishna, she stated that she was married to Sachin Malik, the accused in March 2004. But due to greed for dowry, later the police officer deserted her.
A girl child was born out of the wedlock, and she is 10 years old now.
At present, the woman is residing in Sadar Bazar of Meerut Cantt area. The officer used to send goons to her house, who would terrorize her parents and pressurize her to file a divorce case, she said in the complaint.
But being a spiritual woman believing in Hindu rituals, she wrote, she wanted to live with her husband. She also wants to live her husband because her daughter has been deprived of the love and affection of her father.
In the letter, she requested the SSP to call Malik to the office and seek his explanation and convince him to rejoin them to make the family complete again.
"I will take up the matter when the SSP office reaches out to us in connection with the complaint. Till then, we won't interfere in SHO's personal matter," said Indirapuram Circle Officer Dharmendra Chauhan.
On his part, SHO Malik said: "She has been harassing me for the last 14 years. I have tried to settle the dispute on several occasions but she is adamant to ruin mine life."

77-year-old cake slice of Queen Elizabeth’s wedding auctioned for Rs 2.40 lakh
Colchester: A 77-year-old slice of wedding cake from the royal wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip has fetched approximately Rs 2.40 lakh, according to auction house Reeman Dansie.
Described as a "very rare slice," the piece of cake, which is no longer fit for consumption, has survived for nearly eight decades since the couple's wedding on November 20, 1947.
According to CNN, the slice is neatly packaged in a small box with the silver insignia of the then-Princess Elizabeth stamped on it and an elaborate doily inside. The original recipient of this specific slice was Marion Polson, a housekeeper at Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Scotland, who received it as a gift from the royal couple.
Alongside the cake, Polson received a letter from Elizabeth thanking her for the wedding gift. “We are both enchanted with the dessert service; the different flowers and the beautiful colouring will, I know, be greatly admired by all who see it. This is a present which we shall use constantly, and whenever we do we shall think of the kindness and good wishes for our happiness which it represents,” reads the typewritten note, signed by Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Philip’s wedding cake was an extravagant, nine-foot tall (2.7 meters) creation, which weighed 500 pounds, the report added.
It was adorned with both families’ coats of arms and sugar-iced figures of the couple’s favourite hobbies. It provided 2,000 slices for wedding guests, with additional portions sent to charitable organisations and other institutions. One of its tiers was also preserved for the christening of Prince Charles.
