MOGA: Eight non-resident Indians have been booked on the charges of demanding 11 acres of land from the parents of a married woman and harassing her. These NIRs are settled in England and Holland.

The complainant, Sukhdeep Kaur of Badhanikalan, had stated that she got married to Sukhrajpal Singh, a resident of England, on March 29 last year and her parents had spent about Rs 10 lakh on their marriage, besides giving a lot of jewellery to her in-laws.

She said her husband had promised to call her to England soon, but just when the process of her immigration had started, her in-laws put forth a demand that her parents would have to give 11 acres of land for her immigration. She alleged when her family expressed their inability in fulfilling their demand, they started dilly-dallying her immigration.

Taking serious notice of her complaint, the police has booked her husband and seven others under Sections 406, 498A and 120-B of the IPC.
