'Man of action` Yogi Adityanath comes to the rescue of a woman facing torture over dowry

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi on Tuesday took a quick action when a woman from Hardoi narrated the harrowing behaviour of her in-laws for dowry.

Ritu Gupta arrived at Yogi’s public meeting in Lucknow with her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter and sought the new UP CM's help.

The woman alleged that her in-laws have been torturing her and demanding Rs 2 lakhs. She had been trying to seek police's action in the case for the last seven months, but all her efforts remained futile.

“I filed a FIR against my in-laws but no investigation was done,” she said, adding that she was forced to leave home and not even provided a meagre amount to fulfill the basic needs of her daughter.

The UP CM promised the lady of action and within minutes, she received a call from the police station and an investigation was launched.
