Shobhit Attray sent behind bars on charges of dowry harassment

If the charges and allegations are true, then it is indeed shameful that educated and so called cultured men from the entertainment industry resort to such heinous and detestable crimes. Earlier in the day, certain sections of the media reported about an appalling incident that unfolded in Haryana involving television actor Shobhit Attray (Na Aana Is Des Laado, Prithviraj Chauhan, Baba Aiso Var Dhoondo, Jai Jai Jai Bajarangbali, Aaj Ki Housewife Hai - Sab Jaanti Hai). As per reports, Shobhit was sent to one-day police remand on Sunday, after his wife accused him of dowry harassment. The actor's wife, Nisha, has also accused his brother-in-law of sexual harassment. Haryana police nabbed Shobhit from is Meerut residence and produced him before court. The arrest episode was equally dramatic for when the cops went to nab him, a large crowd gathered and a battery of lawyers tried to intervene the cops. Tensions hit the ceiling when Shobhit’s dad Vijender pulled out a revolver threatening that he wouldn’t allow his son to be taken away. Finally, Shobhit was taken into custody. Apart from Shobit, three members of his family have also been booked, including husband of Shobhit's sister Amit from Mumbai. "He took me along to Mumbai only once and started torturing me after a few days. When I resisted, he sent me back to my in-laws' house, who further harassed me. At last, I returned to my parents' house. After elders in my family intervened, he stopped harassing me for a while but that didn't last long," said Nisha, mother of a one-year-old boy, in her police statement. Nisha, an engineering student, married Shobhit in January 2012.
