Getting a nice groom is difficult. It is further difficult if he is a high salaried NRI. But dream gets shattered if the groom found to be a wrong one as has happened in case of two innocent girls of Sambalpur town.

The girls in question instead of spending a happy married life with their partners are now knocking at the doors of police and courts for justice.

As per information, Subhashree Panda (28) of Gopalmal married Biswajit Hota of Executive Colony, Budharaja in the year 2012. Biswajit went to USA with his newly married wife. Things were alright for a few years initially. They have got a son and a daughter. But situation got changed when her husband and in-laws demanded for more wealth from Subhashree’s father.

Matter was not limited to monetary demand. At times, she had to face cruel torture by husband and his parents. Hence, with some plea, Subhashree came back to Sambalpur. She lodged an FIR in the women police station here. The police have served notice to Biswajit and his parents.

In another incident, Dibya Devajani Patra, a resident of Dhankauda of the city had married Jyoti Prakash Mahalik of Baleswar in the year 2016. Her husband works in the USA as a scientist. But Dibya has not gone to the USA. But her in-laws were demanding to transfer some valuable landed property belonging to her parents in Baleswar to her Jyoti Prakash’s name.

Further, the in-laws alleged that Dibya is a thyroid patient for which she could not be a mother. That was another point of discontentment in the family. The result being, Dibya had to bear unbearable tortures for which she came back to Sambalpur to her parents and took help of police.

“In both cases, we have seized the dowry materials and given them to the respective persons. At the same time, we have also served notice to both the parties,” said Mahila police station IIC Tarabati Pradhan here.

“Very stringent action will be taken against the persons involved in such heinous crime against innocent girls,” she added.
