A Delhi Police sub-inspector who allegedly harassed his daughter-in-law for dowry as payback for her dark complexion was arrested on Monday.

The woman, Sushma, has been living in the home of her father, a retired sub-inspector, since her husband, Gulshan Yaday, disowned her two months ago.

Yaday has also filed for divorce. Sushma was married in 2001 and has two children. "My father-in-law Prem Sukh Yaday and my in-laws said no amount of dowry could compensate for my complexion," she said.

The Yadays allegedly threw her out after their latest demand - a car and Rs 80,000 - was not met. Sushma's lawyer L.K. Verma said the Yadays also beat his client frequently. According to him, Sushma's father, Kundan Lal, spent Rs 151akh on the wedding, and was then forced to gift his son-in-law a flat. The Yadays' lawyer, Kusum Lata Sharma, denied all allegations.

"How can someone whose own daughter is dark, harass someone else's daughter?" she asked.
