Shakil Ahmad and after some days of her marriage, the accused persons started demanding a four wheeler vehicle from his daughter. On the demand of the accused persons the informant was ready to give four wheeler vehicle of Rs. 6,45,000/- but the accused persons were not satisfied with his offer as the accused persons were demanding a vehicle which costs Rs. 10,00,000/and upon non-fulfillment of the same, the accused persons tortured the daughter of informant physically and mentally and ousted the daughter of the informant from her matrimonial house. Thereafter the informant has approached the Officer-inCharge of the Sabour Police Station and on the statement of the informant before Police-In-Charge of Sabour P.S., an F.I.R. bearing Sabour P.S. Case No. 209 of 2019 was registered for the offence under Section 498(A), 34 of I.P.C. and 3/4 of the D.P. Act and after investigation the investigating agency has filed charge-sheet against all F.I.R. named accused and accordingly cognizance was taken.
