Judge's daughter-in-law files dowry complaint against him

The daughter-in-law of an Andhra Pradesh High Court judge today lodged a dowry harassment complaint against him and his family members with the police here.
Kavya Rao, daughter of a Chennai-based businessman, handed over her complaint to senior police officials at the city police commissionerate, police said.
In her complaint, she stated that that persistent demands for money were being made despite her family having given a hefty dowry at the time of her marriage in 2007 after which she was living with the judge's son in Bangalore.
"My husband lost his job in 2008 after which we moved to Hyderabad and lived with my in-laws. During this period I was subjected to continuous harassment... They were persistently forcing me to get more money from my father and conceding to their demands, my father also started giving them money. But they went on increasing their demands which we are not able to meet," Rao said.

She alleged that after her separation with her husband, the judge lodged a false complaint against her father.
Rao said she had also written to the Chief Justice of India and the Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court in Hyderabad.
