Addressing the media, Inderpal Singh, Abha's father-in-law, her husband Amrik Singh alias Ashu along with other relatives and family friends alleged that Abha had fallen out of love with her husband and wanted to opt out of the marriage .
Meanwhile, the five members named in the FIR, Amrik Singh Abha's husband, Inderpal Singh, Abha's father-in-law, Harjeet Kaur, Abha's mother-in-law, Kanwaljit Singh her elder brother-in-law and his wife Gunita alias Manna have secured bail from the local court. An FIR under Sections 498A and 506 of the IPC was registered at police division number 5 against the accused on June 10.
Inderpal Singh said: "Abha is being provoked by her parents who feel that Abha can get a better person as my son can not speak. We have no problem if Abha does not want to live with our son but then our only contention is the manner in which some police officers have been siding with Abha.”
He said ASP Dhanpreet Kaur would threaten them with dire consequences for torturing Abha, which they never did. “We are even surprised how the ASP would come to our house each time Abha called her up," he said. Adding to this Ramdeep Singh said, " At present, we are facing inquiries in the Women's Cell, then Division Number 5. The ASP has already completed the inquiry."
ASP Dhanpreet Kaur denied the allegations and said, "The inquiry report which I have made has been accepted by my seniors and the allegations that I have sided with Abha are baseless. There is no such thing," added the ASP.
