NRI Kiran Kumar, who was returning to home town Hyderabad after long time thought he could spend good time as his demands for more dowry are being fulfilled by in-laws. He would not have imagined that he will be arrested right at the airport by the local police who had a complaint against him by Kiran's wife Vasavi.

Vasavi and her parents lodged complaint with the local police that Kiran harassed her in New Zealand and tortured her for more dowry.

Kiran and Vasavi got married in May 2004. Vasavi's parents spent Rs five lakhs for marriage and even gave a flat as gift during the marriage. Right from the beginning the relations soured.

Initially, he did not take Vasavi along with him to New Zealand after lot of pressure he took her. The harassment and torture started as soon as Vasavi landed there. Unable to bear Vasavi somehow returned to her parents in Hyderabad.

Vasavi says Kiran already had a girl friend in New Zealand and their relationship continued even after the marriage.

``This affair is going on since three years. Even when i went there he used to get calls from her. He used to go to her in nights and come back in the morning. He used to beat me. Even she called me up and abused me calling me ``bloody bitch,'' ``a...hole''
