Kannada actor Anand has been arrested for allegedly demanding dowry from his wife Bharani and harassing her, police said.
Thyagaraya Nagar Women Police in Bangalore on Friday night acted on Bharani's complaint that Anand harassed her physically and mentally for money even after selling gold ornaments given by her parents during their marriage.
She also charged him with having a relationship with actress Ramya Barna, who stars opposite Anand in his second film "Nannedeya Haadu". She lodged the complaint against Anand, his father Bhadraiah and Ramya, police said.
"Anand told me to sell all the ornaments given by my parents as his film 'Nannedeya Haadu' was stuck up due to lack of finance. I had to sell my ornaments thinking that it would help his film career," Bharani said in her complaint.
"Even after selling off my gold ornaments worth Rs.50 lakh, Anand demanded money from me and was forcing me to ask money from my parents. He physically assaulted me. Later I came to know that he was having an affair with Ramya Barna," she added.
Anand was an anchor in Udaya TV before he was selected as the main lead in Kannada film "Manasugala Maathu Madhura". He married Bharani a year ago.

An Indian company which provides call centres for some of Britain's biggest companies is planning to employ prisoners in Hyderabad's Cherlapally Central Jail.
Exerpts : ".....He said there were a number of highly-educated and computer-literate prisoners who had been jailed for 'dowry-murders' – ..... is often a middle-class crime in India. He said inmates like these could play an important role in training other prisoners....."
Comment : Probably most of these are false cases and the BPO firms has understood this :-(. News report below

Call centre firm to employ Indian prisoners
By Dean Nelson in New Delhi
Published: 7:00AM BST 13 May 2010
The scheme is aimed at helping criminals, including those jailed for murder and violence, improve their workplace skills and their career prospects when they are released.
Around 250 inmates will work in the new centre, initially processing insurance claim forms and bank account applications for Indian clients.
But according to Radiant Infosystems, the Indian firm behind the scheme, it will quickly expand it to include customers from Britain and the United States. They are also keen to move into handling customer enquiry phone calls in the future.
The company, which lists Marks and Spencer and the Royal Bank of Scotland among its clients, has insisted there is no security risk as the prisoners will not have access to sensitive information including passwords and bank accounts.
It has also said that anyone convicted of fraud or robbery will not be allowed to work for them – but admitted murdered and violent criminals would.
Inmates at the jail are currently the equivalent of less than 20 pence per day for making furniture, but if they are hired by the jail's new call centre they will earn up to £1.50.
They will work in three round the clock shifts and will be ranked according to their aptitudes and qualifications.
Radiant director C. Narayanacharyulu said inmates who have completed their school education will be recruited along with any graduates and postgraduates.
He said there were a number of highly-educated and computer-literate prisoners who had been jailed for 'dowry-murders' – the killing of new wives by husbands and in-laws because her family has failed to pay enough money for her 'dowry.' It is often a middle-class crime in India. He said inmates like these could play an important role in training other prisoners.
"Our company visited the Jail and we found there are many prisoners who have computer knowledge and are educated. There is enough infrastructure and manpower. There is a general trend to shift [call centres] from urban areas to rural areas, so it was a part of that shift," he said.
"During consultations with the Jail authorities, we decided to start a low end [call centre] which will process bank and insurance data entries. At present, we don't have voice calling but there is a possibility of having this facility in future.
"It will be mostly petty criminals, some people who have committed crimes in a fit of anger but those convicted of fraud or robbery will not be eligible.
"The prisoners will range from the smallest to the highest, including murder. Some are in for dowry harassment cases, some for murder, and they have backgrounds in Information Technology," he added.

My reply to Dear Ambassador
Dear Ambassador
Its nice to know that you are aware of sec 498A of the Indian Penal code. Its great to see an ambassador taking avid interest in the lives of Indian citizens
While Section 498A of IPC may have been initiated approx 3 decades ago with various intentions, changing times, corruption in police forces and misuse of section 498A by unscrupulous young ladies have become a dangerous cocktail striking at the very root of Indian family system and throwing children & elders to the dogs.
I see one great strength in USA. The willingness to allow talent and ability to flow into its borders, assimilate cultures and rejuvenate itself. This is unique for such a large nation. Of late, it seem that USA also looks at India as a partner in business and other fields
I think section 498A IPC acts against both these ... for example, IPC 498A will weaken the Indian family system that has produced steady inputs to the knowledge economy USA plans to build. IPC 498A and rabid feminism will eventually weaken the Indian armed forces too.
There is much more than what could be written in a few comment lines here
I'd be eager to know your views...
