Deepak Niwas Hooda, a BJP leader and former captain of the Indian kabaddi team, and his sister Poonam were charged with dowry harassment by Hisar police on Wednesday. Saweety Boora, an Indian boxer and gold medallist at the world championships, filed the case on behalf of Deepak’s wife.
Police claim that Deepak and Poonam, both Rohtak residents, have been charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s sections 115(3) (causing hurt), 316(2) (criminal breach of trust), 351(3) (criminal intimidation by threat of death or grievous hurt), and 85 (cruelty by husband or relatives).
On condition of anonymity, a senior police official attested to the filing of the FIR against Deepak and Poonam.
Saweety said that Deepak had been torturing her since their 2022 marriage in her complaint to Hisar SP Shashank Kumar Sawan.
She said that instead of the Creta car her family had originally intended to provide as a dowry, Poonam requested a Fortuner SUV four days prior to their wedding. Her father invested ₹11.59 lakh with Toyota and obtained a loan to purchase the car in order to satisfy the demand and prevent social disgrace.
But after the marriage, Poonam allegedly teased her for not bringing enough dowry, and Deepak allegedly started abusing her.
Saweety went on to say that when Deepak fought for the 2024 assembly elections from Meham on a BJP ticket and lost, he put pressure on her to set up ₹1 crore for his campaign.
