My husband and in-laws used to say I had not got enough jewellery and cash from my parents.” She also said that she had been tortured. Her lawyer, Kshitij Mehta said the court wasn’t taking cognizance of the matter, while senior inspector M Powar of Kandivali police station said an enquiry will be carried out in the matter.”
Later, the local police involved in the case dropped Radhe Maa’s name from the complaint without taking consent from Nikki. In its objection, Nikki Gupta approached the Bombay High Court. Radhe Maa, in her defence, said that she did not ask for any dowry, and the matter was between Nikki and her in-laws. Radhe Maa said,
I am pure and pious. The complainant is very poor. If I haven’t taken anything from my daughters-in-law, who belong to royal families, then why will I take money from a poor person who doesn’t have anything to eat?”
