Rajnish, the son of the elderly couple, told reporters that his mother behaves nicely with all family members and she has filed the case under the influence of some relatives.
According to the sources, the whole matter is related to a family dispute.
“My father was shocked when he came to know that he has been booked for dowry,” he said.
Meanwhile, advocate Shivendra Kumar Pandey said that according to the facts that have come to fore, the dowry law has been misused to implicate senior members of the family.
“After so many years of marriage, the allegation of dowry harassment has no meaning. At present, the matter is in the arbitration centre so that the dispute can be settled by mutual talks between the two parties,” Pandey further said.
