Karisma Kapoor files domestic violence case against husband Sunjay

Karisma Kapoor’s fresh unilateral petition against her estranged husband, Sunjay Kapur, has given the case a new twist. While the couple is currently fighting a divorce case and custody of their two kids, Samaira and Kiaan, the actress approached the Khar police on Friday and filed a complaint of mental harassment against her husband Sunjay and mother-in-law Rani Kapur. She recorded her statement and registered an FIR under the Dowry Section — 498 (A): husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty — and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.Later, she also filed a fresh case of domestic violence with the metropolitan magistrate in Bandra Family Court. Her lawyer Sanjog Parab says, “This is a unilateral case that comes under Section 19 in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. This case is completely separate from the ongoing divorce case.” He adds, “It would be wrong to take the term ‘domestic violence’ in its literal sense. In this case, the kids are the primary concern. She wants to protect her children, so she has taken this step.” According to this petition, the kids cannot be taken outside the jurisdiction of Mumbai, till the next hearing, which will take place on March 17. -
