Wife sues ASP for concealing religious identity in marriage
An assistant superintendent of police was sued on Thursday for concealing his religious identity while marrying a Muslim woman.
The accused is Sudarsan Kumar Roy, currently posted at Dinajpur district.
Shilpi Akhter, a resident of South Goran in the city's Khilgaon area, filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.
In her complaint, Shilpi said Sudarsan married her on December 10, 2010, first using an affidavit and then a Nikahnama (marriage registration document) from a Muslim Registry Office in Dhaka on January 20 last year, to register the marriage.
During the marriage, Sudarsan told Shilpi that he had become a Muslim. But on December 17 last year, he went missing with all of Shilpa's valuables.
On December 28, when Shilpi went to Sudarsan's Rangpur residence, she found out that his family had no knowledge of the marriage.
On February 6, this year, the accused came to Shilpi's Khilgaon residence, revealed his fraudulence and threatened to harm her if she disclosed it to anyone, the complainant added.
After the hearing, Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Erfan Ullah took the case into cognisance.
