Bombay HC grants bail to husband in dowry death case
The case was initially registered at Solapur but later was later transferred to Mumbai.
Mumbai: The Bombay high court has granted anticipatory bail to a man in dowry death case. Accused Alim Saudagar’s wife Ayesha had died within a month of their marriage in 2017. Her family alleged that barely 10 days after their wedding, Ayesha had telephoned her brother and sister on May 26 and 29 and complained about dowry harassment by her husband.
However, during investigation it was revealed that there was no phone calls from Ayesha to her family on the mentioned dates. Taking this point into account, the court granted bail to Saudagar.
Justice Revati Mohite Dere granted bail to Saudagar, who fears arrest at the hands of Chunabhatti police. The case was initially registered at Solapur but later was later transferred to Mumbai.
Saudagar’s lawyer Shivraj Kunchge claimed that his client got married to Ayesha in Solapur on May 15, 2017. Few days later, Ayesha got ill and hence Saudagar admitted her to a hospital in Mumbai on May 30. But her health didn’t improve and her father Abdul Gani Tamboli took her to Solapur and admitted her in a hospital there. She died in June 2017.
After Ayesha’s death her family registered a case of dowry harassment against Saudagar and alleged that he was responsible for her death. Mr Kunchge pointed out that the family’s claims were false.
