Pune, May 23 -- The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Thursday expelled party leader Rajendra Hagawane, and his son, amid mounting public outrage, after they were named in a dowry harassment and abetment to suicide case involving the former's daughter-in-law in Pune district. The expulsion of Hagawane, a district-level functionary of NCP, and his son Sushil - both absconding - comes days after the former's daughter-in-law Vaishnavi (26) allegedly died by suicide on May 16. An FIR has been registered against the woman's husband Shashank, Hagawane's other son, mother-in-law Lata and sister-in-law Karishma, besides the NCP leader and Sushil, under relevant sections of BNS related to abetment to suicide and domestic violence, police said. In the police complaint, the woman's parents alleged they had given 51 tolas (595 gm) of gold, silver and an SUV to her husband's family at the time of marriage, but the Hagawane family harassed her yet, demanding she bring Rs.2 crore to purchase land. Police have arrested the husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the victim, while Rajendra and Sushil are on the run, a senior officer said. P5...
