NCP MLC booked for domestic violence

MUMBAI: A case of domestic violence has been registered against NCP legislator Vidya Chavan, her husband, two sons and second son’s wife with Vile Parle police on January 16. A complaint was filed by Chavan’s daughter-in-law, a doctor. Chavan’s son Abhishek had moved Bandra family court in January for divorce against his wife, who lodged the complaint.
Vile Parle police said Chavan’s daughter-in-law complained that her brother-in-law Anand used to make inappropriate gestures, while her sister-in-law Sheetal harassed her when at their Vile Parle home. Police registered a case against Chavan, her husband Ajit, their sons Abhishek and Anand, and his wife, Sheetal. Chavan’s daughter-in-law said the problem started when her second baby was born premature and she died later. The family wanted a boy, which was the reason for harassment, police said. Chavan said she and her family treated her as their child.
