Singapore-based NRI summoned in bigamy case by Chandigarh court


CHANDIGARH: A Singapore-based non-resident Indian, Sham Sunder Arora, who is accused of bigamy, was issued summons for appearing on November 20 by Chandigarh district court on Friday.

His first wife Rohini Arora, 35, a resident of Gurgaon, had complained against him in July 2008.

The Standard Chartered Bank executive has been booked under Section 494 (marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife) of India Penal Code. His father, another relative and alleged second wife were booked under Section 120B (criminal conspiracy).

Crime against women (CAW) cell of the UT police had booked Sham Sunder Arora on April 17, 2009, under charges of dowry harassment and criminal conspiracy.

Rohini, then a resident of Sector 33, had alleged that she got married to the accused on May 9, 1997, at Delhi in a Hindu wedding ceremony. After the marriage, accused got transferred to Singapore on job assignment and she accompanied him there.

She alleged that during her stay at Singapore, the accused used to visit Mumbai in connection with his job, where his alleged second wife was also working in the same bank after divorcing her husband. She added that later, Arora tied the knot with that woman without divorcing her and his father helped them get married.

Court of judicial magistrate Anupamish Modi stated that after considering the preliminary evidence, there was no ground to disbelieve the statements of complainant and the witnesses she presented. Consequently, Arora was summoned.
