Dinner turns violent: Man alleges assault by in-laws

A 24-year-old man from Botad district has lodged a police complaint in Bhavnagar, accusing his father-in-law and other relatives of assault and forcibly separating him from his wife. The complaint, filed on Tuesday, details an incident that occurred during a dinner invitation at his in-laws' home.

The complainant, Yash Upadhyay, married Piya, daughter of Parvat Mordiya, approximately one month prior. Their love marriage had initially faced opposition from Piya's family. Despite this, Upadhyay alleges they maintained contact, leading to the dinner invitation where the alleged assault transpired.

Upadhyay claims that during the visit, his in-laws pressured his wife to remain at their home. When she refused, he alleges he and his parents were attacked. His wife was reportedly taken away by car, while he and his parents were allegedly threatened.
