Man files FIR against wife, relatives for demanding Rs 2 Cr, terming him impotent

New Delhi: In an unusual case, a 35-year-old man from Bengaluru has lodged a police complaint against his wife and in-laws, alleging harassment and assault, and claimed they demanded Rs 2 crore by accusing him of being impotent within months of marriage.

He claimed he only suffered performance anxiety caused by physical and mental stress, as the doctors declared him fit for marriage.

Based on the complaint from Marenahalli resident Praveen KM, the Govindarajanagar police in the city have registered an FIR against the woman, her parents and eight relatives, according to reports.

Praveen said in his complaint that he had an arranged marriage with Chandana, 29, a resident of Tarikere, on May 5 this year, with both sides sharing wedding expenses. He claimed the reception costs in Bengaluru were borne by him.

He told the police that he was unable to consummate the marriage in the first few days due to physical and mental stress. However, his wife mocked and humiliated him, called him impotent and defamed him within her family. She later complained to his mother, after which her relatives barged into his Bengaluru house and humiliated him further, the reports said.

Praveen told the police that doctors declared him fit for conjugal relations following a medical examination, noting that he had developed performance anxiety caused by physical and mental stress.

On June 5, however, a group of 15-20 people from Chandana’s family stormed into Praveen’s house and allegedly demanded that he transfer Rs 2 crore worth of immovable assets in her name. She later left his house.

On August 17, Praveen alleged, Chandana and her family members broke into his house, ransacked valuables and attacked him with lethal weapons. They also slept outside his house.

He said he had to be hospitalised due to the assault. He has submitted CCTV footage and medical documents to the police.
