Chiranjeevi’s son-in-law booked for dowry harassment
March 15th, 2011 - 10:26 pm ICT by IANSHyderabad, March 15 (IANS) A case of dowry harassment was Tuesday registered against son-in-law of Telugu superstar-turned-politician K. Chiranjeevi, police said here.
A day after Srija lodged a complaint at the women’s police station at Central Crime Station (CCS) here against her husband G. Shirish Bharadwaj, accusing him of harassing her for dowry, police booked a case against him.
After receiving the complaint, police questioned Shirish and his family members. However, no one has been arrested.
Srija, younger daughter of Chiranjeevi, had shocked him by eloping with her lover Shirish and marrying him in 2007. The couple had even approached a court seeking protection from Chiranjeevi.
Chiranjeevi, president of Praja Rajyam Party (PRP), and his wife later accepted the marriage after Srija gave birth to a baby girl.
In her complaint, Srija, 23, said her husband started harassing her ever since she mended fences with her parents. She alleged that her husband and mother-in-law had even physically assaulted her.
She said her husband asked her to bring Rs.50 lakh from her parents.
Chiranjeevi, who floated PRP in 2008, last month announced its merger with Congress party.
