New Delhi: The in-laws of a 22-year-old woman were arrested here Monday after she accused them of drugging her and causing her to abort her over one month-old foetus, the police said.
Impreet Kaur, in her complaint to the Geeta Colony police station, alleged that her husband Rajdeep Singh, a property dealer, and in-laws, Gurdeep Singh and Devendra, took her to the house of her husband’s sister two days ago.
At her sister-in-law’s house she was allegedly given a sedative laced tea and after that the “foetus was removed”. She had married Singh in December last year.
“Kaur in her complaint said that her husband suspected her of infidelity and had disowned the unborn baby. She said her in-laws started torturing her soon after the marriage,” said a police officer.
“The victim alleged that her husband started abusing and hitting her and demanding dowry. She also alleged that her husband and his parents kicked her in the stomach several times when they got to know about her pregnancy,” the officer added.
The police said a case under dowry harassment and forcible miscarriage has been filed. Her in-laws have been arrested while Singh is absconding.
