Husband held for attempt to murder

New Delhi, May 20

A 45-year-old man, who had come to visit his wife with an intention to kill her for filing a cheating case against him and his family, was arrested from Maujpur, police said.

Manish Kaul alias Varun Kaul and several other names tried to fire at a policeman but the bullet got stuck in the pistol, they added.

In March, the woman had filed a cheating case against Kaul. She alleged that she came in contact with Kaul via a matrimonial website in 2015, when he introduced himself as a doctor, police said. She said she married Kaul the same year and her father gave gold ornaments worth Rs 20 lakh to her in-laws as dowry and spent nearly Rs 50 lakh on their wedding, they said.

After the wedding, her in-laws started demanding more dowry. Her father-in-law molested her twice, she said. — TNS
