never listen to digging up their own grave.
Abduction is a crime itself, but it is described as an auxiliary act so it is not punishable itself. Therefore, there is no general punishment for abduction in the Indian Penal Code. If abduction is done to marry a woman against her will be punishable under section 366 of Ipc, with imprisonment for ten years, with a fine.
I raised my eyebrow, when Acp looked at me, even after my father asked him to take action. he should have recognized me, and I shrugged my shoulders, walking towards my husband. even though he looked like an angry bird, I smirked at him. "If you apologize, I will help you out," I whispered, not wanting Mr.Sharma to hear.
"Don't underestimate me, do you think they can arrest me? no one will touch me even if I had killed them. I would rather prefer rot in jail than apologize to others especially a daughter of a person who had killed my father." first time I seen hate and disgust in those eyes. he started to hate me like I do him.
"fine suit yourself. " I walked back. if he had apologised my ego would have been satisfied. now I couldn't care less, even if he goes to jail. whatever Akash has done is a crime. I'm not going to save his a** even if he is not an actual culprit here. passing a look at Acp, signaling him to take action with my eyes.
"Arrest him," he said to the inspector, even after getting threatened by Mehta's. off course if he don't take any action. I would have dragged him to court. he should fear me, more than anyone in this room. It will be fun to watch my husband getting arrested. Akash and his cousins are calm, of course glaring at my father and me.
Akash just looking at officers without any emotions but his eyes are mischievously shining in malice. Ashwin Mehta just chuckled, what is going on? his cousins are reassuring my mother-in-law, there is nothing to worry about.
"Eesha." my mother-in-law started walking towards me. "you're a criminal attorney right, Please stop them from arresting my son." If I were in her position I would have warned instead of requesting. "I will if you pay me thrice," I said, raising my three fingers. everyone looked at me like I had gone insane. I beamed when she accepted. even I don't give f***, but If Akash goes to jail then our marriage Will be void, more over I need to stay in this mansion.
"Can I have a word with you Father?" I can handle it legally, apart from convincing my father. "Mann, you too." my brother is quite useful at this moment. "excuse us." we had moved towards one of the corners. "Even if he gets arrested, he can get bail easily." Mr. Sharma looked towards me. "we all know we can't punish him, for long." my brother started to do his part of the work. "so what we can at least punish him." My father raised his eyebrows after saying.
"Don't be a fool. I need to get divorce from him, and we can't prove the court even he had abducted me. he will be free Father. don't tell me you don't want a single penny from grandfather's will." he started to think, signaling my brother to pursue. "even though Mehta's are our enemies, they are more powerful than those Joshi's father. If Di will stay here she can spy." I nodded agreeing with my brother. "Fine, what about them? they will inform Mr. Joshi. if I had taken back my FIR." he referred to police officers.
"you and Mann just go back to the mansion, without withdrawing the FIR. I will take care of everything. just act along" They nodded their head. Finally, he agreed. we walked back, "I just remembered, I had an important meeting but I want him to get arrested before midday." he said, signaling my brother to follow him. I winked my eyes at my brother for smiling back before following him.
"what are you waiting for, arrest me," he yelled. he digging his grave deeper? Inspector hesitated to even look at him, he had no option but to walk towards him to arrest him when Acp ordered him. "can I have a look at the FIR." I asked Inspector, he passed me. "I see according to section 365, but sorry to disappoint you can't arrest him. I accept he had abducted but he had never wrongfully confined me. On Saturday I visited a high court between eleven to one O'clock. you can investigate it." I had no choice than defend him.
"I don't mind revising you, according to section 366 I have the power to arrest him without any FIR. please cooperate with us Miss" He cleared his throat, he knows about me better than I thought. "I mean Eesha." Acp said, "What proof do you have? his mother had already registered marriage on the registered office. he is not even main culprit. you should arrest his mother. she was the one who abetted this crime. you can arrest her." I said.
"Don't drag my mother in this." Akash yelled at me, walking towards me. "can you shut up, I'm trying to defend you." I snapped at him, trying to find any loop holes. I paused when my eyes fall on something. I just threw the FIR on the ground.
"you can't" "Be glad I don't tear it. tell me Who I'm." I asked Acp."who doesn't know you? you're a criminal attorney." "I'm just asking my name?" I interrupted him, "Eesha Patel." he raised an eyebrow at me. "exactly, you can't arrest a person who did any crime against a person who doesn't exist in this world legally." I hated when people call me Eesha Sharma.
" I don't give damn what my father and Mehta's capable of, if you arrest them or not. we both know what extent I go defending my client. I request you to get out before I make you all rot in jail." at last I lost my calm and patience. they left from there not before apologizing me.
