A 32-year-old woman from Chinna Kottakuppam in Villupuram district on Saturday staged a dharna in front of the Police Headquarters here seeking action against a police constable and his wife for allegedly usurping her property and threatening her with dire consequences.

Nisha in her complaint to the police alleged that Suresh Kumar, a head constable attached to the Katterikuppam police station befriended her after she had separated from her husband.

She said that Suresh Kumar who was already married began living with her for few months after receiving Rs.1 lakh as dowry.

However Suresh Kumar and his wife grabbed my property worth Rs.7 lakh and threatened me with dire consequences, Nisha said in her complaint. She was forced to leave her house and was living in a relative’s house at Chinna Kottakuppam. Nisha claimed that Suresh Kumar threatened her with dire consequences after she lodged a complaint with the All Women Police station in Puducherry.

Nisha sought action against Suresh Kumar and his wife. Women police personnel persuaded her to give up the agitation.
