New Delhi: Dowry victim Nitasha has openly protested against dowry at Ashok Vatika Park near the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) East Delhi. Victim told that she married Mr. Vijay Goel S/o Mr. Ravi Prakash Gupta and Mrs. Shakuntala Gupta resident of C-9/123, Yamuna Vihar, Delhi on February 20, 2007. She has been harassed for dowry since the first day of her arrival at her in-laws’ house.



According to Nitasha, her in-laws used to beat her, they threw cup of tea over her many a times, but it was a limit when they demanded of car. I would have been considered enough, but her in-laws make the way that rather than going for such meagre demands, they demanded third share of her father’s property. When the victim opposed to this demand her in-laws forcefully expelled her from the house.



When social worker Mr. Parhlad Aggarwal (chairman, foundation for common man) came to about all this, he tried to get the victim her deserving place in her in-laws house with the help of Bhajan Pura Police Station. But her in-laws did not let her in and all those who are helping the victim to get justice, her in-laws tried to fabricate false cases against them.



To oppose their false complaints and seek justice for this dowry victim, first a peaceful candle march was done in front of DCP Office, Shahdara and then at the Sansad Marg (parliament street, Delhi) by social worker Mr. Parhlad Aggarwal.



Mr. Parhlad Aggarwal said that on the one hand our government ask the people to save the female foetus from being aborted in the mother’s womb and on the other hand the dowry victim has to protest to get justice. It is very shameful that a family, who had spent a huge amount of money at the marriage of their only daughter, is being harassed because they are opposing the more dowries.

Nitasha’s elder brother Mr. Rajneesh Bansal who is running all the way to get her sister justice is being framed falsely under the section 354 by her mother-in-law who is a NDMC teacher. Mr. Parhlad Aggarwal also said that we will not bear this any more and if our protest will not be listened then today it is the peaceful march, later on social work organizations/women commission/student unions/advocates/doctors will also come and protest in favour of Nitasha. In a country like India where we have a female President, ruling Cingress Party President a lady, and Chief Minister of Delhi is also a woman; a dowry victim has to protest to find her deserving place in her wedded home.



Please help the victim.
