Cop's daughter helped dad book greedy groom, family
TNN | May 31, 2013, 12.33 AM IST NAGPUR: Seven members of a family have been booked for cheating after they allegedly duped an assistant sub-inspector of city police to the tune of Rs 2.61 lakh in the name of dowry for daughter's marriage. The 29-year-old girl, post-graduate in Hindi literature and political science, encouraged her father to lodge a criminal complaint against the family that had been harassing them for heavy dowry amounts.
ASI Mithilesh Tripathi, member of the encounter squad that had gunned down three Pakistani terrorists near RSS building in 2006 and another inter-state dacoit at Central Avenue hotel in 2008, was in tears when the Pandeys wanted to call off the marriage of their son with his daughter if their demand of a car was not met. Tripathi had already paid Rs 2.61 lakh and also given plot of land to Pandeys as deal for arranged marriage. The marriage was finalized last year and since then Pandeys had been pressing Tripathi to cough up more cash and valuables.
The match with groom Vinod Pandey, who works in the Gulf, was arranged through a professional matchmaker. Pandeys, it is learnt, started threatening to call off the marriage when Tripathi confronted them for making unrealistic demands from a government employee like him.
Tripathi said he was buckling under the pressure as any other father would do but his daughter provided him the courage to fight the humiliation. "My daughter showed the courage to say she was not interested in marrying into such a family that had been continuously harassing us for money and other things," said Tripathi who was also helped by senior police officers. "My daughter urged me to teach the Pandeys such a lesson that they would never harass any other girl's family," Tripathi said.
An offence of cheating was registered at Gittikhadan police station against Vinod, his parents Rajendra and Tara, elder brother Vinay and sister-in-law Baby. Vinod's sister Sangeeta and her husband Shailesh Tripathi too have been booked. No arrest has been made yet.
