Kochi, September 28
The Kerala High Court today directed Dr Jasleen Virk, daughter of Punjab DGP S.S. Virk, to appear in person before it tomorrow to amicably settle the marital dispute with her husband Vikramjit Singh, an IPS officer in the state.
The direction was issued by Justice J.M. James on an anticipatory bail application filed by Mr Singh, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Aluva.
The petitioner had stated that he was anticipating arrest by the Yerwada police in connection with a “false” case of dowry harassment and mental torture filed by Dr Jasleen against him and his Pune-based parents. The complaint has been filed to “settle personal vendetta”, he alleged.
The couple had got married on June 5 last year at Patiala while he was undergoing training at the National Police Academy in Hyderabad. His wife continued to stay in Chandigarh, where she was working.
Mr Singh said his wife joined him when he was posted at the Kerala Police Academy in Thrissur in January. They later shifted to the state capital. However, after reaching Kerala, Mr Singh claimed, Dr Jasleen did not find the “modest status and privileges of a trainee IPS officer in Thiruvananthapuram to her satisfaction compared to the perks and privileges enjoyed by her in Chandigarh as the daughter of DGP”. — PTI
