On Saturday, he said he received a call from one of Sakina’s relatives to meet him in the Sathe Nagar area of Mankhurd. He said that when he arrived, his father-in-law Firoz Ansari, along with four other relatives, were present in a car.
Mumbai police registered a case on Wednesday after the family members of a woman allegedly abducted her husband, suspecting infidelity, and demanded his family return Rs 2 lakh spent on the wedding.
The woman’s husband, Akram Qureshi (24), had his family approach the local police station, where an FIR was lodged against five members of her family. By late evening, some of them had been detained by the police.
According to the FIR, Qureshi, a resident of Shivaji Nagar, married Sakina, a Vasai resident, in July 2023.
Qureshi stated that nearly a month ago, his father-in-law took Sakina back to Vasai.
On Saturday, he said he received a call from one of Sakina’s relatives to meet him in the Sathe Nagar area of Mankhurd. He said that when he arrived, his father-in-law Firoz Ansari, along with four other relatives, were present in a car.
He alleged that he was pushed into the car and his hands and legs were tied up.
He claimed he was taken to their house in Vasai and was later confined in an adjacent flat where he was beaten by the relatives.
The accused then called Qureshi’s family members and demanded the return of the Rs 2 lakh they had spent on the wedding if they wanted him alive.
Qureshi’s family then approached the Shivaji Nagar police station, where an FIR was registered. The girl’s family allowed Qureshi to leave after learning about the complaint.
A senior officer said that the woman suspected her husband of cheating on her.
Due to this, she left home last month and informed her family, who allegedly devised the plan.
An officer mentioned that they have detained some of the individuals named as accused in the case.
