The 22-year-old Kashmiri woman, who married a Hindu against her
parents’ wishes last year, has gone missing from her Srinagar home
too.

That’s what the affidavit filed by Samadhan Dhanedhar, senior police
inspector with the Saki Naka police, in the Bombay High Court said.
The court on Thursday was hearing a habeas corpus (produce person in
court) petition filed by Ravi Tiwari (26) who alleged that his wife
Anusha was detained by her parents in Srinagar.

In December 2009, Anusha approached the HC seeking protection against
her father Gulam Mohammed and brother Altaf. The court directed the
police to provide protection to the couple. But when the couple
received a letter claiming that Anusha’s father was unwell, they went
to Kashmir. His wife’s family held her back forcibly, claimed Tiwari.

Additional Public Prosecutor Sangeeta Shinde said a team of three
policemen and a woman constable, along with the Khaniyar police,
visited Anusha’s Srinagar residence to get her back to Mumbai as per
the HC directions, but they did not find her there.

Her parents told the police that she had gone to buy medicines on
February 22 and never returned. A division bench of Justice D.B.
Bhosale and Justice A.R. Joshi asked the police to file a progress
report in tracing the woman after four weeks.
