 In a bizarre incident, a man has accused his newly-married wife of running away after allegedly stealing Rs 10 lakh in cash and jewellery worth lakhs from his house in Banashankari in the city.

 As per the police, the family of the complainant reside in Padmanabhanagar. As the family had been looking for a prospective bride for their son, they were introduced to a girl named Gouthami recently. The marriage had taken place recently with a grand ceremony, sources said.

However after marriage, the girl started troubling the family. Initially, she demanded that she wanted to fly to America along with her husband and did not want to stay with her in-laws. The family had to arrange a visa for her and finally bought her a ticket.

 Later, she began complaining about the family members to her husband, the victim said in his complaint.

 Later the woman allegedly stole a huge amount of jewellery and cash from her husband’s house and returned to her mother’s house without informing anyone. When the husband attempted to call her on the phone, she refused to come back and threatened to file a case against his family.

The victim’s family said that they had spent Rs 40.2 lakh to send the woman abroad for education so that she can stay with her husband there. A case has been registered against the woman and her family at Banashankari police station and the cops have launched a probe to nab the woman who is currently absconding.

Meanwhile the police are questioning the persons involved in introducing the woman to the victim’s family.
