Panchkula, September 16 Praveen Hooda, a resident of Sector 25, Panchkula, was arrested on Sunday on charges of domestic violence, dowry and forced abortions on his wife. The charges were levelled against him by his wife Anju, who claimed that she was forced to abort her child on three occasions by her husband and sister-in-law.

Anju, from Sangi Village in Rohtak and Praveen from Karnal, who belonged to the same gotras, had reportedly married against the wishes of their parents, three years ago.

The two had gone against the wishes of society and their parents to be together for life, but two years down, Anju has moved to court against Praveen on charges of domestic violence. The cases have been registered at the Chandimandir police station.

Providing information on the case, a police official said, “Anju complained she was being ill-treated by her husband and in-laws.”

Police sources added that Praveen’s family members allegedly demanded dowry and even forced her to abort her child thrice. On May 24 this year, she got a case registered at the Chandimandir Police station against her husband Praveen, father-in-law Balwant Singh, and sister-in-law Mukesh Rani.

Praveen was arrested by the police today and produced in the court, after which he was sent to police remand for a day. Meanwhile, Praveen’s father was not arrested as he had applied for anticipatory bail. Mukesh Rani, Anju’s sister-in-law, has not been arrested yet. The police have now started investigating the case and are also going to look for the doctor who performed the abortions on Anju, as claimed by her.
