Aishwarya Roy, the estranged daughter-in-law of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, and her mother-in- law Rabri Devi have lodged complaints of torture against each other, while the police said steps would be taken as per law.
In her FIR, Roy also accused her husband Tej Pratap Yadav and sister-in-law Misa Bharti of dragging her by the hair, snatching away her mobile phone and other belongings before driving her out of their family residence in Patna on Sunday, the police said on Monday.
Rabri Devi, a former Bihar chief minister, has also lodged a written complaint of torture against her daughter- in-law.
“In her FIR, Aishwarya has named her husband, her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law for inflicting torture, atrocities and dowry demands,” Women’s police station SHO Arti Kumari Jaiswal told PTI.
She also named as accused two security personnel deputed at Rabri Devi’s 10, Circular Road residence.
The station house officer (SHO) said action will be taken against the accused persons as per law.
After Roy lodged her complaint, Rabri Devi also filed one in the Sachivalaya police station.
“Rabri Devi has submitted a written complaint against her daughter-in-law Aishwarya for inflicting torture on her (Rabri Devi). The police are investigating,” Sachivalaya police station SHO Raghunath Prasad said.
Both the complaints were filed on Sunday evening.
Yadav, elder son of Lalu Prasad, and Roy had tied the knot in May, 2018 and the former had filed a divorce petition six months later in November.
Although the divorce petition is pending before a court, Roy has been known to spend time at her in-laws’ place which is a few hundred metres from the house of her father, RJD MLA Chandrika Roy.
The drama unfolded late in the evening when Roy was found weeping outside the family’s Circular Road residence.
Roy told reporters on Sunday that she got a message on her mobile phone that Tej Pratap Yadav’s supporters have pasted posters villifying her and parents across the Patna University campus.
