Name: Purushottam Mahajan
Comments: My name is Purushottam Mahajan; presently working for Citibank, my wifeâ™s name is Ujjwala after marriage (Pallavi). She runs a Beauty Parlor at Santosh Nagar, Goreagaon(E), Mumbai, which is a slum area.
The marriage was held on 25April, 1999. From the very beginning there was a difference of values and the attitude towards life. After marriage we had gone to Matheran for Honeymoon and there only she showed her colorsâ¦.was freely flirting with a son of the hotel owner where we stayed.
My parents live at Dabhadi, Taluka- Malegaon Dist- Nasik .Immediately after marriage she said if you do not take me to Mumbai I will make a big Tamashaâ¦.
My mother is a retired Head Mistress of a school at Dabhadi and my father was a Head Master of a school at Dabhadi and now retired as Area Education Officer.
Initially the problem was of hygiene, gross negligence at home; my kitchen was just a dump yard she never use to take care of my son, her only interest was her beauty parlor where she sits with women who always talk very cheapâ¦.
Once there was a fight as my son was not doing well in studies and I requested her to come back home once sonâ™s school gets over because after school he remains hungry she keeps him at parlor where he plays in the slumâ¦gutterâ¦mudâ¦because of the fight we together went to a Police Station at Dindoshi, Goregaon, where we met Mr. Suryakant Kharat who was PSI on dutyâ¦..I explained him the problemâ¦when he heard about the beauty parlor he took interest in my wife, did not listen to me and did hero giri in front of my wifeâ¦Isko Under Kar do kyaâ¦..he then gave his mobile number to my wife and taken her number also.
After few days my wife showed me the sms sent by the PSIâ¦said how he is trying to take the advantage of our quarrelâ¦.then he started giving calls to herâ¦.initially she avoided talking to himâ¦when she showed me the calls I requested her that we should go to his senior officer and complaintâ¦she said why will she complaint?.....he may be useful to her one dayâ¦.why will I take enmity against him?... The entire world came to know but I was not knowing when she developed the relations with himâ¦.My friend saw her on the motor bike with himâ¦.the neighbors saw her with himâ¦.but I came to know at the lastâ¦..when I came to know she started giving threats Kharat can arrest me any timeâ¦.he can arrest my entire family my aged mother-father brother-sisterâ¦.then whenever we use to have quarrel she started hitting meâ¦.pulling my hairâ¦and tearing my clothesâ¦and giving me threats Kharat can come with Police Jeep and can arrest meâ¦.when she started hitting me very badly I told it to my relativesâ¦no one believedâ¦.wife can not beat her husband then I met a Lawyer Mrs. Ashumol Kumarâ¦explained her the problem she told me that if no one believes then you will have to record itâ¦.because what happens in the four walls, you will not be able to prove and the law protects only womenâ¦.then I put a DVR, a video recorder. It recorded all the incidents day and night 24hours for 2 monthsâ¦. Where you can see she beating me every morning I was going to my office and after office the moment I entered the houseâ¦.though I am a man I was afraid of going home at the end of the dayâ¦.
I showed the recording to my relativesâ¦.they were shockedâ¦the meeting was arranged between her relatives and my relatives where my wife said she is not interested and wants to be a free womenâ¦her father demanded 10 lacks rupees and said if this demand is not fulfilled then as you are aware we have good relationship with the Police Departmentâ¦.we know how to get the moneyâ¦.relatives said it is totally a kind of extortionâ¦.if you get money then nothing happed if you do not get money then you will file falls complaint to get moneyâ¦the intervention of the relatives was of no useâ¦wife left my home at her own will brought police to take her belongingsâ¦and started living independentlyâ¦.then I filed a divorce petition under cruelty ground in the Family Court at Bandra on 23rd July 08 and as the part of the conspiracy with Karath and a lady PSI Vandana Shirgire my wife gave a written complaint to file a case against me U/S 498A on 8th Aug 2008.
I was called on 20/08/2008 at the Police Station. I went with all the evidence I had showed it to the PSI Vandana Shirgire who is a regular visitor to my wifeâ™s beauty parlor and was taking instructions from Mr. Kharatâ¦.the PSI behaved very rudely with me I called my Lawyer Mrs. Ashumol Kumarâ¦the lawyer spoke to the PSI and also with my wife, they demanded 10 Lacks rupees or be prepared for the consequencesâ¦.the lawyer said make a demand which can be fulfilledâ¦..
Then I met the Senior Police Inspector Mr. Uttam Khairmode (on 21st Aug 08) showed him the video recording and explained him that it is me how is the victimâ¦.he called my wife⦠they had the meetingâ¦the Senior PI said if you take your wife with you there would be no offence registered if you do not take her with you we will file a complaintâ¦.I said Sir she left the house on her ownâ¦even after looking at these videos where you see how violent my wife is you are asking me to take her homeâ¦..then I did 2 things I applied for Anti-cipatory Bail and I met the DCP Mr. Ajit Patilâ¦(on 28th Aug 08) after looking at the videos he said how can they think of filing complaint against you?....he called the Senior PI who was irate with me because I approached his senior and also called the lady PSI and my wifeâ¦..he showed the video to my wife she agreed it is she onlyâ¦then I was told to goâ¦..and the next day the police was suppose to give their say for my anticipatory bail application the lady PSI came with the offence registered.
Initially interim anticipatory bail was granted to me but later the Judge did not see the videos and the divorce petition which was flied before the offence registered â¦just kept on reading the documents created by the police and I was sent to jailâ¦.for 5 daysâ¦.
After coming out of the Jail I straightaway went to see Teesta Setlwad â¦.she was not in Mumbaiâ¦.then I met her husband Mr. Javed Anand⦠who told me that he knows the Additional Commissioner Mr. Suresh Khopde who is non corrupt and would give justice to meâ¦.I prepared presentation spending the entire night and next day met him (on 7th Oct 08). He called Mr. Kharath and the lady PSI Vandan Shirgire (on 10th Oct) and told me to ask few questions to them in front of the Additional Commission both Kharat and Shirgire were unable to give answers to my questionsâ¦.Mr. Khopde said he can very well see the conspiracyâ¦said we recruit women who are suppose to be sensitive but this lady officer is shamelessâ¦he shouted at both of them and said I am taking this case away form Vandana Sirgire at this very moment⦠told me to meet PI Khadtare give him all the evidence I showed him and they will see that this case gets classified and closed. Now Mr. Khadtare has taken my statement, statement of relatives who witnessed the extortion of Rupees 10 lacksâ¦I have given him all the documents proving that each and every sentence in the FRI is falls â¦.but I am not sure if he is trying to safe guard PSI Kharat and Vandana Sirgireâ¦So far he has not yet submitted his report to the Additional Commissioner Mr. Suresh Khopde who is due for promotion and may get transferred and then there will be no one to give justice to meâ¦.at the moment I am just waiting and watchingâ¦
