A woman deserted by her non-resident Indian (NRI) husband has appealed to external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj to help secure deportation of her husband from New Zealand.
Making a bid to be heard well, a young woman from Kapurthala Chand Deep Kaur has taken up her issue with Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in the Gurmehar style.
Getting herself clicked with a placard with her demand of seeking deportation of her already PO-declared husband from New Zealand, Chand Deep Kaur has posted her picture and tweeted all the matter with proofs to the minister.
Hoping to be heard well this way, she has written, “Deport Ramandeep Singh, FIR registered, LOC issued, PO declared by the court.” She has got herself clicked with her marriage poster on the backdrop.
In her representation, she mentions, “I had got married to Ramandeep Singh on July 2, 2015. As desired by Ramandeep Singh and his parents, the wedding function was organised at Maharaja Resort, Kapurthala.
Ramandeep had gone to New Zealand in the year 2010 and we were told that Ramandeep was working as an accountant in Auckland. He stayed in India for a few days after marriage and went back to New Zealand on August 1, 2015. Just a few days after the marriage, Ramandeep and his family began to force me to leave my matrimonial home.”
She further wrote, “I was extremely shocked at the treatment meted out to me, but even then I kept tolerating it with the hope that I will go to New Zealand to stay with my husband Ramandeep Singh. Ramandeep again came to India on December 19, 2015, and went back to New Zealand on January 11, 2016. I went to Delhi with my in-laws on January 8, 2016. I was sent back to my parental home on January 13, 2016, with my father-in-law, who later went back to Delhi.
During this course of time, we made umpteen telephone calls, but my in-laws preferred to stay in Delhi and kept maintaining that they will come to take me along.
“However, even after coming back to Jalandhar, my in-laws kept maintaining the same stance, but it never happened. Since then, it’s been more than a year now and I am living with my parents.
It was a clever ploy of my in-laws to send me to my parents’ home, as in the month of June 2016, I got to know that Ramandeep’s parents had disowned him on February 23, 2016, (perhaps only in papers). Meanwhile, Ramandeep stopped taking my phone calls and it was intimated by his parents to me that he had severed all relations with me.
Seeking justice, Chand Deep has written, “Unable to find any way out and suffering from extreme harassment, I was left with no other alternative and filed a complaint against my husband and in-laws with the Commissioner of Police, Jalandhar.
Accordingly, a detailed inquiry was conducted and FIR No. 97, dated August 2, 2016, was lodged at police station Women Cell, Jalandhar, under Sections 406/498-A of the IPC. A Look Out Circular (LOC) has also been issued against Ramandeep by police on August 8, 2016, and the court of Amardeep Singh, PCS, JMIC, Jalandhar, had declared Ramandeep a proclaimed offender (PO) on February 15 last and had directed SHO, Women Cell, Jalandhar, to proceed against the accused as per the law.”
She has poured her heart out, “I have been sexually exploited, tortured, harassed and thrown out of home within just one month of my marriage. The said case is a glaring example as how NRIs come to India to get married and after enjoying their sexual desires, they desert their wives.”
