'Henry is back': Mahua Moitra's ex-friend claims his dog thrilled to be home
Jai Anant Dehadrai recently accused Mahua Moitra of trespassing and said Mahua visited his house uninvited on November 5,6.
Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai whom Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra called her 'jilted ex' claimed on Thursday that his pet Henry - a rottweiler-- is back with him. Posting a video, the advocate welcomed Henry back home and thanked people for 'support, prayers and wishes'. The advocate was in an acrimonious battle with the Lok Sabha MP over the custody of Henry and filed several complaints against Mahua Moitra on this issue. Owing to this ongoing custody fight, Mahua called Dehadrai's allegation of cash for questions against the MP vendetta and motivated. The allegations might lead to Mahua Moitra's expulsion from the Lok Sabha as the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee adopted its draft report against Mahua Moitra on the same day Henry was back with Jai Anant Dehadrai.
Jai Anant Dehadrai earlier claimed that he was approached by Mahua Moitra's lawyer to withdraw the ‘cash-for-question’ complaint against her in exchange for Henry. Jai Anant said he denied it.
Over Henry, both Jai Anant Dehadrai and Mahua Moitra had staked claim and accused the other party of stealing the pet dog.
In his latest complaint against Mahua Moitra, Jai Anant Dehadrai sought for security and said he might be physically harmed. He said Mahua Moitra was using Henry as an "excuse" to come personally to his residence in a bid to intimidate him. "I have previously informed the commissioner of police on October 19 and then on October 21 regarding this fraudulent and bogus complaints which Moitra had foisted on me with the objective of using them as leverage to force or compel me to hand over the custody of my pet dog, and I have also flagged to the commissioner the very serious threat to my life which I anticipate on account of the complaints filed by me with CBI against Moitra and her associates," Dehadrai wrote.
