NRI alleges husband used her as ‘visa’
to USA The matter came to light when the Mohali police booked Amritsar resident Kanwarjit Singh, his mother Lakhwinder Kaur, sister Kirandeep Kaur and Kanwarjit Singh’s USA based father Surat Singh, on charges of criminal breach of trust and dowry-harassment, on the basis of a complaint lodged by Harpreet Kaur Bal, Kanwarjit’s wife. “The marriage became a trauma for me, as my husband Kanwarjit used me as a ‘visa’ to United States”, Harpreet told Newsline. She got married to Kanwarjit in 2003. Harpreet alleged that when her husband got the visa to United States, his behaviour changed and after getting the ‘green-card’, he started harassing her for bringing a car and cash as dowry. “When I expressed my inability to do so, even my father-in-law tried to kill me in USA by pointing a gun at my head. I lodged a complaint against him with the police, acting on the basis of which a case was registered against my father-in-law, there,” Harpreet added. Talking to Newsline, Harpreet said, “My father-in-law is also a US citizen, but despite that my husband Kanwarjit Singh could not get the VISA to US. After getting married to me, he got the VISA, but the moment he landed in USA and started staying with his father, his behaviour changed. From our marriage, we have a daughter and a son. Ever since, my husband got a green-card, he and his family started demanding a Mercedes and cash Rs. 25 lakhs. When I refused, he and his family members started torturing me”. Though the police have not yet made any arrests,
but the investigating officer of the case, ASI Kuldeep Chand,
told Newsline that the matter is under investigation.
