Cuttack/Bhubaneswar, June 15: Daughter-in-law of industrialist and chairman of Nayagarh sugar mill Trailokya Mishra has alleged that goons have threatened her not to pursue the case she has filed against her in-laws.

According to Lopamudra, 36, five to six people barged into her home in Bargarh today and threatened to destroy her family and kidnap her six-year-old son if she pursued the case with the police and the media.

Following the incident, she lodged a complaint with the Bargarh police and met senior police officials seeking protection. "We are examining her complaint," said a senior police official.

Lopamudra had lodged the complaint against her in-laws with the police under Sections 498-A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 294 (obscene act), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

She had alleged that her husband Sabyasachi Mishra had tried to force her to agree to wife swapping a few days after their wedding in 2006.

"During our honeymoon in the Andamans, he forced me to agree to wife swapping and when I resisted, he beat me up badly," Lopamudra had said.

She had also alleged that Sabyasachi had been torturing her all these years, but her in-laws had remained silent.

According to her, when she would complain to her father-in-law, he would tell her that such incidents were normal in wealthy families. They also said nothing when Sabyasachi would beat her up, Lopamudra said in her complaint.

Lopamudra had also visited Madhyam (a woman support centre) in 2015 and counsellors brought them to a mutual reconciliation.

Sabyasachi and his father Trailokya were not available for their comments.

However, their anticipatory bail pleas filed on June 13 will be heard by the vacation court on Friday.
