In the complaint, Siddharth's wife Mayuree has alleged that he was having multiple affairs and beating her up over dowry.
A Bengaluru techie has been accused of physically and verbally harassing his wife for dowry for over seven months. Unable to face the alleged harassment, the 32-year-old woman filed a complaint with the RT Nagar Police on Friday evening. Mayuree Khound Banerjee, who formerly worked as a techie in Bengaluru, got acquainted with Siddharth Banerjee on a matrimonial website over a year ago. Mayuree and Siddharth met each other and she finally agreed to marry him. Both the families had met last year and had set a date for the wedding in January this year. All was well until the day before the wedding, when Siddharth’s mother Rina Banerjee allegedly demanded dowry from Mayuree's father. “My father was opposed to the idea of handing in the dowry and we were thinking about calling off the wedding. My husband convinced my mother-in-law to not ask for dowry and everything was settled. We were married on January 17,” Mayuree's complaint reads. However, two days after the wedding, Siddharth and Rina allegedly began demanding that Mayuree bring in dowry. “The victim says that her husband and in-laws initially started taunting her every day saying she was useless and that she could not even bring in dowry. This continued and the couple would fight a lot,” the RT Nagar Police said. Within months, Siddharth allegedly began beating up Mayuree during their arguments about dowry. In her complaint, Mayuree alleges that she suffered verbal abuse at the hands of her husband and in-laws every day. On July 17, Mayuree found emails that Siddharth had allegedly written to multiple women with whom he was having affairs. “The woman’s husband and mother-in-law made her quit her job after the wedding. Her mother-in-law would also taunt her for not getting pregnant. The victim was suspicious of her husband’s activities and checked his email. She found out that he was having multiple affairs. When she confronted him, he beat her up and she was admitted to Baptist Hospital,” the police added. After recuperating, Mayuree returned to her home in RT Nagar, allegedly only to face more verbal abuse from her husband. “In her complaint, she said she was unable to bear it and that’s why she filed the complaint. She says that her husband would threaten to beat her if she spoke about marital problems with her parents,” the police said. An FIR was registered under section 498A (demand for dowry) and 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC and also the Dowry Prohibition Act. By the time the police reached Mayuree's apartment in Sultanpalya, Siddharth and Rina had absconded. “We believe they are in Kolkata and we will take the necessary measures to being them back,” the police said.
