Man threatens ex-wife, demands money

Ahmedabad: A 37-year-old woman from the Chandlodia area of the city on Wednesday filed a complaint with Sola police alleging that her ex-husband was subjecting her to obscene messages and calls and was demanded money from her. As she refused to give him the money,

he created a ruckus at her house.

In her FIR with Sola police, Shilpa Patel, who works for a private company on CG Road, stated that she had married Dharmesh Patel, a resident of Mandal, on March 29, 2013.

As the couple were unhappy in the marriage, they separated on April 20, 2019 and they began living in Ahmedabad and Mandal, respectively.

She alleged that her husband often made unwelcome calls to her, sent her obscene messages and made obscene demands through video calls.

On Wednesday morning, when she was alone at home, Dharmesh barged in and demanded money from her. As she refused, he roughed her up and began shouting at her.

Hearing the commotion, her neighbours gathered at her house after which she called the police control room. She filed a complaint for criminal trespassing, use of abusive words and criminal intimidation against Dharmesh.
