Udaipur:
The son of a BJP leader has been arrested for allegedly torturing his wife for dowry, police has said.
Richa, the daughter-in-law of local BJP leader Karan Singh Mogra, alleged that her in-laws started harassing her for dowry soon after her marriage with their son Siddarth on 13 February 2005, they said.
The woman lodged an FIR with Udaipur Police on 25 August against her in-laws after they turned her out of the house in June last year when she failed to fulfill their demand of Rs 50 lakh.
After investigations, police nabbed Richa's husband on Friday and a local court sent him to police custody for two days. Police said her mother-in-law Sudha Mogra was also arrested but was later released on bail.
