A Gorakhpur woman has filed an FIR against her husband and in-laws, alleging physical assault during their honeymoon and ongoing dowry harassment. The case involves accusations stemming from a May 2023 marriage. As this is a personal legal matter concerning private individuals, it has no connection to any stock market or financial entity.
On August 15, 2026, police in Gorakhpur officially registered a First Information Report (FIR) following a complaint filed by a woman against her husband, Nikhil Mishra, and his family members, including his mother, Sanju Mishra, and sister, Neha Pandey. The legal action follows allegations of physical assault and dowry harassment that have surfaced regarding the family.
The complainant, who was married in May 2023, alleges that she was physically abused by her husband during a trip to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in July 2026. According to the complaint, the reported incident occurred following the onset of her menstrual period, leading to an alleged escalation of violence. The woman has claimed in her statement that she was subjected to physical acts of aggression, including slapping and attempts at strangulation, requiring intervention by hotel staff present at the location.
Beyond the allegations of physical abuse, the FIR includes formal accusations of dowry harassment. The complainant alleges that her family provided cash and goods valued at approximately ₹60 lakh—comprising ₹20 lakh in cash and items worth ₹40 lakh—at the time of the wedding. She claims that she faced continuous humiliation and demands from her in-laws regarding these items after moving to her marital home in Delhi in June 2023. She further alleges that she was expelled from her marital residence in mid-July 2023, approximately 45 days after the marriage, and that her personal belongings were withheld.
Local authorities have stated that the investigation is currently in its initial stages. As the FIR has been filed, law enforcement will now proceed with evidence collection to determine the next steps in the legal process.
