Udupi: Santhoshkumar Bhagwana Potdar from Thelasangha village of Belgaum, in a press meet here, claimed that he was being tortured by his first wife by misusing the IPC Section 498A. Speaking to the media persons, he said that most of the dowry harassment case complaints are lodged by women. In some instances, women are misusing this law against men by making false claims of torture and violence. He has demanded for the formation of a National Men’s Committee for welfare of victims like himself. Potdar has done his post-graduation in MSW, MA (Psy), (PGDCA), Ph.D., and is a medical consultant and social activist. He said that he would like to re-open old cases of those who were punished by a court of law. According to him, negligence, misbehaviour and verbal assault are punishable offences. The attitude of his first wife has badly frustrated him, he is seeking for justice. He has planned to undertake an ‘Andolan’ from Belgaum to New Delhi by foot. It will be a historical awareness campaign of 2,500 km. There are 40 various social organizations involved in the awareness programme. Potdar is married for a second time, and he says that his present wife supports him in everything. He further stated that he would submit a copy of his demands to the Prime Minister of India.
