A head constable posted in the police lines has accused his wife of transferring ₹14 lakh from his bank account while he was undergoing treatment after a serious injury. He has also alleged that she sold a plot purchased in her name and took away jewellery from the house. Based on his complaint, an FIR has been registered against the wife and her family members.
According to the complaint, the constable — identified as Deepak Kumar — married Rakhi, a resident of Luhsana village in the Budhana area of Muzaffarnagar district, around 12 years ago. The couple lived together in government quarters allotted in the police lines.

In 2022, Deepak reportedly fell from the terrace of the government accommodation and sustained severe injuries to his body and head. He was later shifted to a private hospital in Delhi, where he underwent treatment for several days.
Deepak claims that during this period, his wife had complete access to his mobile phone, ATM credentials and bank details. Taking advantage of this, she allegedly transferred around ₹14 lakh from his account into different bank accounts without his knowledge.
He further stated that in 2017, he had purchased a plot worth ₹10 lakh in Shamli, registering it in his wife’s name. The plot, he alleges, was later sold off by her without his consent. Along with this, jewellery kept in the house was also taken away.
The complaint adds that when Deepak confronted her, disputes escalated and he approached the police for legal action. Following his written complaint, an FIR has been registered against his wife Rakhi, his father-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law under relevant sections related to criminal breach of trust, cheating and misappropriation.
Sequence of Events, According to the Complaint
The constable says that after the injury, his movements and daily functioning were seriously affected. Household matters and finances gradually slipped out of his control. He alleges that bank passbooks, ATM cards and transaction details remained with his wife.
Over a period of time, multiple transactions were carried out, moving money into other accounts. These came to light only when he later reviewed bank records and found that a substantial amount had disappeared.
Similarly, when he inquired about the Shamli plot — purchased as a family investment — he allegedly discovered that the property had already been sold.
Legal Course Begins — Investigation Underway
Following the FIR, investigators are now verifying bank statements, property records, and other financial documents to corroborate the allegations. Statements from both sides are being recorded, and officials say further legal steps will depend on the evidence gathered during inquiry.
Police sources maintain that the case involves both marital dispute elements and financial allegations, and therefore requires careful scrutiny.
Rising Disputes Over Finances Inside Families
Incidents involving internal financial disputes — especially within families — have increasingly reached police stations across the region. Many such cases revolve around property, joint savings, digital banking access and control over valuables.
Officers familiar with such matters say that documentation, transparency and mutual consent in major financial decisions can prevent long-term conflict.
What Happens Next
Authorities are expected to:
- Audit banking transactions related to the alleged transfers
- Examine property sale documents of the Shamli plot
- Verify jewellery-related claims through statements and any available bills
- Cross-check digital evidence such as mobile phone access and OTP records
The investigation aims to determine whether criminal intent can be legally established or whether the matter falls into the category of civil and matrimonial dispute.
For now, the case highlights how lack of financial oversight — even within families — can lead to serious accusations, litigation and prolonged emotional strain.
