Hyderabad: The city police have launched an investigation into the case of alleged dowry harassment filed by actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi's daughter Srija against her husband and mother-in-law.
No arrests have been made in the case so far, a senior police officer said on Wednesday.
"We are investigating the matter. So far, no one has been taken into custody," Detective Department's Deputy Commissioner of Police J Satyanarayana told.
Srija had, in her complaint on Tuesday, alleged that she was being harassed and ill-treated for additional dowry of Rs 50 lakh by her husband G Shirish Bharadwaj and mother-in-law GR Suryamani for the past one year.
Based on her complaint, the Woman Police station at the Central Crime Station (CCS) here registered a case against the duo under section 498-A (subjecting woman to cruelty by husband, in-laws) and under relevant provisions of the Dowry
Prohibition Act.
Srija, the youngest daughter of Chirajneevi, married Shirish in 2007 against the wishes of her family at Arya Samaj here and then fled to Delhi. She had also approached a court there seeking protection from her family. The couple have a daughter.
