Chhattisgarh, May 19: Chhattisgarh Police on Thursday, registered an FIR against a person Ishtiaq Alam for divorcing his wife over a phone call. The Police said that the accused uttered ‘Talaq’ thrice on the phone, while he was in conversation with his wife and divorced her.

Triple Talaq
 
According to reports, Alam, a Jharkhand resident, married the victim in 2007. The lady was tortured by her husband & father-in-law for not giving birth to a child.
 
 
In October 2021, she shifted to her maternal home in Chhattisgarh and told her family about the torture she had to face in Balumat. In an attempt to pacify this matter, the victim's family asked her to keep calm and talk to her husband. However, the accused on October 19, 2021, divorced the lady over the phone. “I divorce you, talaq, talaq, talaq”, he said and disconnected the call.
 
 
But Alam continued to harass and torture the lady victim as she along with her brother travelled to Balumat to confirm the incident. The lady and her brother then found out that Alam had already married another girl. The victim later decided to fight legally against accused Alam and lodged an official complaint on May 17.

While the police are investigating the matter, Bhaskar Sharma, SHO Kunkuri, Jashpur have assured that the accused will be arrested soon.
