AKOLA: A man was arrested for selling his wife for Rs 60,000 to a person with whom she was forcibly married at village Dhanodiya in Madhya Pradesh recently.
Also arrested along with the husband were the purchaser Madan alias Bahadursing Chaudhri with whom the woman was married and two brokers. The incident came to light when mother of the said woman lodged a complaint with Mehekar police in Buldhana district on August 1.
Gajanan Manvatkar, who works as a sweeper at ST bus stand at Mehekar, was married seven years ago. The couple was blessed with two children. However, reports said that Gajanan is an addict and greedy for money. On the fateful day, Gajanan took his wife to Aurangabad on the pretext of attending a mass marriage ceremony in which they would get Rs 20,000 if they participated. He then contacted brokers and took wife to Dhanodiya and sold her to Madan for Rs 60,000. They also performed her marriage with him on the basis of bogus documents. When the woman sought details from Madan, he said that she was sold for Rs 60,000 by her hubby. When Gajanan returned to Mehekar, he gave evasive replies to his mother-in-law on the whereabouts of her daughter.
As the mother-in-law got suspicious, she filed a complaint of missing on August 2. A team of police was sent to MP from where the purchaser and brokers were arrested. The cops also brought the woman to Mehekar on Friday.
Offences have been registered against the accused under sections 366, 376, 478, 441, 472 and 506 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code.
Brokers Vithhal Debaje and Anil Wathore and Madan were arrested and the police are in search of other accused.
