Kozhikode – 21-year-old Atijeevitha says that the police are not ready to file a case once morest her husband’s brother for sexual harassment. Malappuram Vazhakad police station asked Atijeevitha to settle the case. A native of Kozhikode, Atijeetha Manorama told News that an unparalleled torture took place at her husband’s house. But the police claim that there is a contradiction in the statements of the complainant.

‘He started misbehaving a week following his husband went to Gulf. Umma is a cancer patient. One day when my mother went to the hospital, he grabbed me. When I pushed him away, he left. But once more it started repeating itself. One day, when he pushed her on the bed and tried to hurt her, she narrowly escaped kicking him with her foot,’ said the young woman.

The woman says that when she told her husband regarding his harassment at home, he tried to blackmail her. The woman also said that her family had harassed her, including for the sake of gold. The woman says that when the harassment continued, she lodged a complaint with the police but no action was taken. ‘I called Wazhakad SI and told them that they beat him up. But the SI said he cannot come to the house and investigate. He said that the police jeep and the lady police were not there. Later he went to the police station twice but might not find the SI. The third time I went and filed a complaint, but the SI did not take it seriously.

They were not listening to anything I said. They said that your future will be settled, it will take five years. The young woman said that she would trap me in the case along with her father who was with her.

As Wazhakad police did not file a case, a complaint was filed with the SP but no action was taken. Later, the girl informed that she filed a complaint with the Chief Minister. Wazhakad police explained that no case was filed because there was a conflict between the statement of the girl and her mother. Meanwhile, the girl alleged that her husband’s family had influenced the police.
