MLA’s second wife seeks protection
The plea was from MLA’s wife Gurpreet Kaur Grewal, who had approached the high court seeking protection and demanding that authorities be asked to act on her complaint.
Kaur has claimed that the legislator cheated her and married her without divorcing his first wife.
According to Kaur, when she raised this matter with him, he started assaulting her and even threatened to kill her.
As per her petition, she approached the police with a complaint, but they did not act, which prompted her to approach the high court.
