Salem, Jan 17:
Close on the heels of filing of a dowry harassment complaint by his first daughter-in-law, former Tamil Nadu Health Minister and AIADMK district secretary S Semmalai's
second daughter-in-law has filed a divorce petition making a similar allegation. Pushpa (22), wife of Dr S Vijayanand (26), the second son of Semmalai, yesterday moved the family court here for divorce alleging that her husband's family demanded Rs 30 lakh to enable him take up post-graduation in medicine.
Pushpa, married three months ago, also alleged that she was forced out of the house.
Only last week, a case of dowry harassment had been registered against Semmalai, his wife and first son on a complaint from his first daughter-in-law Vani Preetha. In her complaint at the all-woman police station at Mettur, Preetha, daughter of DSP, Salem (untouchability) Muthusamy, had alleged that her husband Ezhil Amuthan and mother-in-law had beaten her up demanding Rs 10 lakh as dowry.
