Kirti Sharma’s family had gone to Sector 5 police station on Sunday demanding that her husband Pankaj Bharadwaj’s parents be arrested, and ended up attacking the accused and police officers after seeing him in a police vehicle.
Pakaj was arrested on Sunday with his accomplice Naseem. Cops said they were taking the duo back to the police station in a police vehicle after producing accused them before court, which had sent them to two days’ police custody. “When we reached the police station, we saw around 15-20 of Kirti’s relatives gathered there. They surrounded the police vehicle and had a scuffle with the cops on duty with the intention to harm Pankaj and Naseem,” said SHO of Sector 5, inspector Sumit Kumar.
Three persons, identified as Delhi residents Sandeep Arora, Lalit Sharma and Amit were arrested.

On Monday, the family was seen making the rounds of the district court to seek bail for the accused. “We could not control our emotions, our intention was not to break the law. We wanted the arrest of Pankaj’s parents. Kirti had requested me to help her get a divorce. I wish I had listened to her,” said a grieving Mahesh, Kirti’s father.
