BENGALURU: A woman has filed a complaint accusing her husband, an owner of a resort and a college, of hiring goons to threaten her to withdraw a POCSO case she had filed against him.
The complainant, Deepa, is the second wife of the accused, B.V. Srikumar, who owns Tulips resorts and Austin College.
In her complaint Deepa had stated that Srikumar, along with Naveen, his son-in-law from first wife and Usha, Srikumar’s lover, had hired the goons, who had attacked her on January 21.
They wanted Deepa to withdraw a POCSO case she had file against Srikumar for misbehaving and sending inappropriate messages to her minor daughter.
Police said Srikumar was arrested in September and recently got bail. In her complaint Deepa alleged that she was attacked by two bike borne men with canes and lethal weapons, while she her daughter were going on a two-wheeler from J.P. Nagar to Konankunte.
“Around 7:45 pm, while I was returning home with my daughter they stopped our vehicle near Amruthnagar Main Road and attacked me with a cane and threatened us to take back the case,” Deepa stated. She said that her husband was forcing her to withdraw the case, as it was affecting his reputation, and she has been refusing to do so.
She also suspects the role of Naveen and Usha in this attack. She claimed that Naveen had earlier threatened her saying he knew the local goondas. Konankunte police have registered a case and begun investigation.
