Bengaluru, March 5

Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal's wife Priya filed a dowry harassment case against him in Koramangala police station in the city, police said on Thursday.

"Sachin Bansal's wife has filed a dowry harassment case against him," confirmed Madiwala Assistant Commissioner of Police Kari Basavanagowda to IANS.

"Post wedding, it was decided that it I will stay with my husband. Before the wedding, in-laws visited my home and asked for more dowry. My husband and in-laws have been giving me mental and physical torture since the wedding for dowry. When my sister Radhika Goyal was in Delhi, Sachin had sexually assaulted her. Sachin had tried to transfer all properties in my name to his name and when I refused, Sachin had physically assaulted me on 20 October 2019. I have been tortured mentally and physically by in-laws for dowry," Priya Bansal alleged in the FIR.

Priya claimed that her father spent Rs 50 lakh on her wedding and also gave Rs 11 lakh to 38-year-old Bansal.

She said the e-commerce pioneer in India had been harassing her to transfer all the properties in her name to him.

In consequence of her rejection to do so, Priya said Bansal's family had been harassing her. IANS
