Nehriya and Sharma had tied the knot two months ago on April 26.

Kangra SP Vimukt Ranjan told media on Monday that though Sharma had submitted a complaint against her husband but in her statement recorded on Monday, she expressed her intention not to lodge any criminal case against him.

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday also termed the dispute between Vishal Nehriya and Oshin Sharma as a “family issue”, saying it needs to be resolved by mutual consent of the couple.

Nehriya and his wife Oshin Sharma should be given a chance to sort out the dispute with mutual consent, he had told reporters.
