Wipro employee Sikander Abhijeet has been arrested on charges of goading his wife Asti Shekhar into committing suicide on Friday.
According to a formal complaint filed by Muralidhar Pathak, Asti Shekhar’s father, the Wipro implementation manager harassed her mentally and physically for dowry.
Pathak and his wife also met Joint Police Commissioner Alok Kumar in this regard.
According to Pathak, Abhijeet and Asti Shekhar married in February and moved to the city but soon after the marriage, Abhijeet started harassing her for dowry and also for not being able to get a job despite being an MCom graduate. Asti Shekhar had informed her parents about the torture but Abhijeet didn’t stop.
Pathak alleged that in May, Abhijeet’s parents arrived in the city and joined him in the torture. Sometimes, he would call Asti Shekhar and give the phone to his girlfriend to tease her, Pathak alleged, adding that Abhijeet wanted to divorce her and was supported by his parents.
When Asti Shekhar committed suicide, Abhijeet and his parents misled the police saying she took the step because she was not getting a job. But Pathak’s version led city police to arrest Abhijeet on Sunday night.
