In her complaint, Bansal has been designated as the accused one (A1), followed by Sat Prakash Aggarwal (A2), Kiran Bansal (A3), and Nitin Bansal (A4). Sat Prakash Aggarwal and Kiran Bansal are Bansal’s parents, while Nitin Bansal is his brother.
“My husband and I had an arranged marriage through a marriage bureau in 2008 in Chandigarh. A month after the wedding was fixed, A2 (Aggarwal) and A3 (Kiran Bansal) started making dowry demands,” said Priya Bansal in her complaint.
“They had also made very clear and unequivocal demands about how much cash and the kind of gifts they required from my parents for themselves and for my husband’s extended family,” said Priya.
“They were unequivocal in their desire that all marriage related expenses would have to be borne by my parents. The wedding date has already been finalized, my parents thus had no choice but to agree to the demands of Aggarwal and Nitin Bansal,” she said in the police case.
According to the Flipkart co-founder’s wife, just a few days before their wedding, Sachin Bansal’s mother demanded that Priya should wear the heavier gold necklace of at least 15 tolas than the one already purchased by her parents.
The investigating officer said the inquiry is on, and Sachin Bansal has not been arrested yet. (With inputs from IANS)
