Dharamsala BJP MLA accused of mental, physical torture by wife
Shimla: Dharamsala BJP MLA Vishal Nehriya has been accused by his HPAS officer wife of physical and mental torture.
In an 11-minute video that has gone viral on social media, the 2020-batch Himachal Pradesh Administrative Services (HPAS) officer Oshin Sharma alleged that the BJP legislator slapped her thrice on Thursday.
Sharma, posted as the block development officer at Nagrota Suriyan in Kangra district rural development agency (DRDA), claimed that Nehriya had physically and mentally tortured her several times.
Nehriya and Sharma were married two months ago on April 26. Sharma said she has now returned to her maternal house.
The HPAS officer claimed that Nehriya had also beaten her in February this year at a Chandigarh hotel.
The BJP MLA neither answered calls nor replied to messages sent to get his version. Nehriya (32) was elected as MLA from Dharamshala in a by-election on October 24, 2019.
Sharma also alleged that her husband had expelled her from his house on the fourth day of their marriage when she tested positive for COVID-19. She said she had agreed to return then as he threatened to harm himself.
The HPAS officer also stated that she knew Nehariya since their college days. She said she had ended her relationship with him then as he used to beat her even during those days.
However, Nehariya asked Sharma to marry him in 2019 after becoming the MLA and she agreed as she thought he was genuinely interested in her, according to the officer.
Sharma also accused her in-laws of demanding dowry and said that her parents had given them a gold chain worth Rs 1.20 lakh and a ring worth Rs 1 lakh at the time of marriage.
She added that her husband's family had also levelled allegations of torture against her.

Passenger, railway staff in Maddur stabbed by two men who fought for train seat
Mandya: An argument over a seat in a train intensified into a fight, resulting in a passenger and a Railways staff member being stabbed and sustaining grievous injuries near the Maddur Railway Station in the district on Wednesday.
The other passengers as well as the locals are said to have caught and assaulted the three accused as they were attempting to escape. The trio, Subaan Qureishi, Shoiab Qureishi and Wasim, has been handed over to the police.
The assault victims, identified as Shivakumar of Tumakuru and Railways staff Kumar were taken to the Maddur Taluk Hospital for first aid and later shifted to the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) District Hospital.
The argument is said to have erupted over a seat in the Mysuru-Bengaluru train. When a third passenger, Shivakumar, tried to intervene, however, the men fighting for the seat allegedly stabbed him with a knife. Shivakumar is said to have pulled the chain of the train, which was arriving at the Maddur station and was at Channegowdanadoddi on the outskirts of the town, in a desperate attempt to save his life.
The suspects, who tried to jump off the train which was slowing down, stabbed Kumar, the railway gate-keeper near Channegowdanadoddi, as he attempted to stop the duo from escaping.
The other passengers in the train and the locals at the station caught up with the accused, who were escaping and assaulted them physically before handing them over to the police.
A case has been registered by the Railway Police and the officers are investigating the incident.
