Ahmedabad: A NRI from Chicago and his parents installed CCTV cameras in every corner of their house here to look after his wife under constant supervision.
Now, NRI has been arrested on the same camera beating his wife and the supervision system has become proof of it and his parents.
This happened in a case involving a 32-year-old woman from Sector 14 in Gandhinagar, who on Thursday filed complaints of domestic violence against her husband, who worked for IT companies in Chicago, and his in-laws.
The woman stated that she married NRI, who owned a house in sector 25 in Gandhinagar, on November 27, 2011, according to her family’s wishes.
In November 2014, he gave birth to their first child, a daughter.
Husband and his in-laws then began to harass him for the birth of a daughter.
Her husband went to Chicago in December 2014 and he lived with his in-laws in Gandhinagar.
He said her husband took him and his parents to Chicago in June 2015, after he waste that he took him there too.
He said that even in the US, his husband and father-in-law used to demand a dowry from his parents to buy new flats in Chicago.
In November 2018, he, his daughter and his father-in-law returned to Gandhinagar and they began to harass him for a small problem, he accused the complaint.
“They repair CCTV cameras in every corner of the house and in my room, so they can keep me under supervision all the time,” he said in FIR.
He said that her husband also returned from Chicago in March 2019 and after a while he was pregnant again.
In December 2019, he delivered another child, a son, but they continued to harass and hit him.
He told the police that they had defeated him everywhere at home and this was arrested on the CCTV camera installed in the house.
They believe that he will never go to the police and use a recording that caught their brutality towards him, said a Gandhinagar female police officer.
Armed with the recording, he approached the police and filed a complaint against her husband, who is now in Chicago, and his in-laws, for violations under the household violence law, which causes wounds and criminal intimidation.
