A local court today granted bail to a Computer Engineer who was arrested on charge of domestic violence and dowry demand following a complaint by his wife.
Additional District and Session Judge S N Srivastva granted the bail to Vasu Gautam after his lawyer argued that the charges by his wife Versha were false.
In her complaint last month, Versha had alleged that her husband and his parents used to assault her and that they wanted to throw her into prostitution racket while they were in US to carry out his company project work.
However, Vasu denied the charges and accused his wife of withdrawing ornaments from the bank locker without his or his family's consent.
Earlier the court had granted bail to his parents in the case. The couple got married in 2004 and has a five-year-old son.
Anti-dowry law makes it wife-biased, discriminatory,and poorly formulated. A complaint from your wife or her family member can land husband and his entire family in jail without any investigation. "The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist." - Winston Churchill
