Hyderabad: Chiranjeevi’s son-in-law Sirish Bharadwaj reportedly confessed he used to harass his wife Srija for additional dowry.

A team of Central Crime Station officials led by inspector Jyothi Lakshmi questioned Sirish during his two-day police custody, raising different queries based on the complaint lodged by Srija. Some of the questions asked were- 'Why did you harass Srija physically and mentally?' and 'Did you demand her to bring additional dowry from her parents?'

A senior police officer told Express that Sirish had reportedly confessed he harassed his wife mentally and physically.

During the interrogation, police also extracted information about jewellery and other properties of his wife. "He confessed he demanded dowry from her. He also said he had slapped his wife twice before she lodged a complaint. He kept harassing his wife for dowry but she was reluctant to his demands," the police officer said.

It is reported that Sirish allegedly took a diamond necklace and gold from Srija worth Rs 50 lakh soon after their marriage.

"Srija left her home along with some valuables before their marriage. Sirish reportedly spent all the money for his lavish lifestyle. During interrogation, we also found that Sirish mother’s Suryamangala had encouraged her son to ask Srija’s family for additional dowry," CCS officials said.

"We questioned him based on allegations raised by his wife Srijat. We also gathered information regarding his involvement in a kidnap case in 2003 and prepare a comprehensive report," said J Satyanarayana, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime).

Meanwhile, police presented Sirish before the family court after their 48-hour custody. Later, he was shifted to the Chanchalguda jail for remand.
