A model from Kanpur has accused her IPL cricketer husband of physical and mental abuse, demanding dowry, and has taken her grievances to court after the police failed to register her complaint.
In a shocking turn of events in Kanpur, a 35-year-old model named Garima Tiwari has lodged serious allegations against her husband, IPL cricketer Amit Mishra. In her complaint submitted to an additional civil judge's court, she accused her husband and his family of physical and mental harassment, possible suicide provocation, and demanding dowry. The couple, who got married in April 2021, are now embroiled in a legal battle, as Garima seeks justice through the court after her attempts to get the police to file an FIR were unsuccessful.
Garima and Amit's relationship reportedly began in 2019 through Instagram and culminated in marriage after three years of dating. Following their wedding, Garima claims the demands for dowry began, with Amit and his family asking for a Honda City car and ₹10 lakhs shortly after they tied the knot. The allegations highlight a troubling issue surrounding dowry demands that persist in many parts of India, which can have severe consequences on the lives of women.
Moreover, Garima's allegations extend beyond financial demands, as she recounted instances of physical abuse, claiming that Amit frequently assaulted her when under the influence of alcohol. She described being mistreated and subjected to abusive language, culminating in days where she was deprived of food. This case draws attention not only to the dangers surrounding domestic abuse in relationships but also serves as a resonance of the ongoing struggle for women's rights and safety in India.
