She said that her family had earlier given him Rs.125,000 but he demanded more.Kumar then reportedly went in for a second marriage without legally ending the first one.His second wife Daljit Kaur told the police that she and her family did not know that Kumar was already married. The police handed her over to her family members.Divya said she would not go to the US with Kumar after this episode, as she was afraid he would harass her. (c) Indo-Asian News Service
