Saweety Boora and family charged for assaulting husband

Police in Hisar, India, have filed charges against boxer Saweety Boora, her father, and her uncle for allegedly assaulting her husband, Deepak Niwas Hooda. Hooda, a former captain of the Indian Kabaddi team, made a complaint after an incident at the women's police station on March 15. According to Hooda, he was called to the station as part of an ongoing investigation into a dowry case filed by his wife, Saweety. During questioning, he claims that Saweety and her father used abusive language and physically attacked him, resulting in injuries. Hooda's uncle also reportedly accompanied them. The police have charged Saweety, her father Mahender Singh, and her uncle Satyawan under various sections of the law, including causing hurt and wrongful restraint. This situation follows earlier allegations made by Saweety against Hooda for dowry harassment. She claims that Hooda and his sister demanded a luxury car as dowry and pressured her for money during his recent political campaign. In a counterclaim, Hooda alleges that Saweety’s family took money from him prior to their marriage. He claims to have transferred large sums to her family and accuses Saweety of threatening him and attacking him with a knife. Both sides have made serious allegations against each other amid a backdrop of personal and financial disputes.
