A case has been registered against international cricketer Robin Uthappa's father Venu Uthappa and two others for allegedly subjecting his wife to cruelty.
"We have booked a case against three persons, including Robin Uthappa's father for allegedly subjecting his wife Roselyn Uthappa to cruelty," Kodagu Superintendent of Police Anucheth told PTI here.
The case was booked yesterday evening, he said adding that the other two accused are Venu Uthappa's relative Calvin Varghese and his wife Manjushri.
The couple, who reside in Bangalore, had been to Venu's house during which they picked up a fight with the cricketer's mother.
Roselyn complained that Calvin allegedly caused her harm by pulling her hand and Venu stood silently, doing nothing to stop him from assaulting her, Anucheth said.
Police have booked cases under Sections 498-A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) and 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), Anucheth said.
