Borivali court rejects Radhe Maa's application in domestic violence case

New Delhi: Self-styled godwoman Radhe Maa on Saturday filed an appeal in Dindoshi court after Borivali metropolitan magistrate court rejected her application in domestic violence case.

Earlier on September 9, the Mumbai court had dismissed her application requesting removal of her name from a domestic violence case filed against her.

In 2016, a Mumbai resident, Niki Gupta had registered a complaint accusing the godwoman of instigating her in-laws against her for dowry.

However, the Borivali Police dropped Radhe Maa's name from the list of accused on grounds of lack of evidence, without informing the complainant.

On April 28, Gupta took the matter to Bombay High Court.

On September 5, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Punjab police to file a First Information Report (FIR) against Radhe Maa on the plea of a Phagwara resident, Surender Mittal, a former Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) member.

Two years ago, Mittal had sought a FIR against Radhe Maa but receiving no response to his complaint from Punjab Police, Mittal had moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court this year.
