Uttar Pradesh Scheduled Caste Commission Chairman Brij Lal released documents to refute charges levelled against him and his family members by daughter-in-law Anita.
Lal, the former DGP who is now a leader of Bharatiya Janata Party, has been accused by Anita of demanding dowry from her family members and forcibly getting her to sign blank paper to procure her kidney for her father-in-law. Subsequently, an FIR was registered at the Mahila police station in Lucknow.
In a communiqué released on Saturday, Lal clarified that the charges made against his family members were baseless as his renal transplant took place in February 2017 while his son was married a year later, in February, 2018.
The UP Scheduled Caste Commission chief said that his daughter donated her kidney as donors have to be a blood relative of the patient and hence there was no question of him asking or forcing his daughter-in-law to donate her kidney.
Lal also claimed that his daughter-in-law stayed with his son for a few days after marriage and started living with her parents. Due to her behaviour, the two families had decided on getting through divorce proceedings.
He said that he was shocked to find that his daughter-in-law fabricated baseless charges and lodged a case to defame him and his family members.
