A man from Bhopal, who was remanded to police custody in connection with a dowry case, dumped his Amdavadi wife after she got him and his parents released on bail.
The metropolitan court, that ordinarily does not grant bail in such a case, had taken into consideration the wife's request after she claimed that her husband had agreed to take her back.
According to case details, Yogini Khawani, a 29-year-old resident of Vejalpur, had married Amin Awani in 2003.
Soon after her marriage she went to Bhopal along with her husband, where her in-laws stayed. After a while, Yogini's in-laws reportedly began seeking dowry.
Meanwhile, Yogini became pregnant and delivered a baby girl which led to further harassment.
Yogini got pregnant again twice. But both these times, her in-laws allegedly forced her to abort the foetus in Bhopal.
When the situation spiralled out of control, Yogini came back to her parents' house in Vejalpur and lodged a complaint against her husband and in laws with the Mahila Crime Branch.
A team from the Crime Branch arrested Amin and his parents in Bhopal and brought them to Ahmedabad on November 28.
The next day, they were produced before the court of the urgent metropolitan magistrate who granted them two days in police remand.
After the remand ended, the police produced the three before metropolitan magistrate G M Patel on December 2.
There, Yogini submitted in writing that she and her in-laws had reached a compromise.
She wrote: "If the judge wants to give them bail, I have no objection."
Following this, the judge granted bail to Awanis under the condition that they would mark their presence at the Mahila Police Station in Karanj on the 20th of each month.
After getting bail, the Awanis however returned to Bhopal without taking Yogini along.
When the Khawanis realised this, they approached their advocate Gulab Khan Pathan.
Said Pathan, "The Khawanis came to me two days ago and informed me that the compromise turned out to be a sham.
"The Awanis left behind Yogini. As the terms of compromise has been breached, we are thinking of filing a bail cancellation petition before the sessions court."
A person close to the Khawanis said the family will try to solve the dispute again on December 20 when the Awanis are expected to arrive at the police station.
