Alleged dowry torture victim Barsa Swony Choudhury today moved the Orissa High Court seeking cancellation of bails granted to her father-in-law Raghunath Mohanty, former law minister, and his son Raja Shree Mohanty.
She alleged that the father and son have violated conditions put by lower courts while granting them bails.
Barsha's petition is based on an FIR at Raibania police station in Balasore against the two for allegedly influencing witnesses and issuing threats to her family members.

Barsa in her petition pointed out that a group of people shouted slogans in front of her house and threatened her uncle. "We have already lodged an FIR at Raibania police station in this regard," the 21-year-old Barsa, who lodged FIR against her in-laws accusing dowry torture on March 14, said.
Basing on Barsa's allegation of physical and mental torture for dowry, the police had arrested the Mohanty, his wife Pritilata and son Raja Shree. While Mohanty and his wife were arrested from a flat at Shalimar in West Bengal, their son Raja Shree was nabbed near Cutack.
The Mohanty couple and their son were now out on bail.
A day after Raja Shree's release from jail on April 5, a group of people allegedly busted crackers in front of Barsa's house and shouted slogans against her and Choudhury family.
Though Mohanty couple and their son Raja Shree were arrested, two other accused persons, Mohanty's daughter Rupasree and her husband Suvendu Madhual, got anticipatory bail from the High Court.
