Despite holding a Ph.D. in chemistry, Dr. T had not filed a divorce case against her husband.
“After a thorough investigation, the case has been registered,” Deputy Commissioner of Police, North, Manoj Kumar Meena said.
The other case was of a 24-year-old complainant, a resident of Shradhanand Marg here, who got married on February 18, 2021, in Mumbai.
