Cricketer Amit Mishra Booked in ₹1 Cr Domestic Violence Case by Wife

Cricketer Amit Mishra, who is from Uttar Pradesh and a retired IPL player, has found himself in legal trouble after his wife Garima Tiwari registered a domestic violence case against him and his family. The case also involves a compensation claim of ₹1 crore, with the court sending notices to all the accused. The next hearing is on May 26.

Who Is Amit Mishra?

Amit Mishra is an ex-Ranji Trophy cricketer and has represented Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Due to his sports quota, he also got employed with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), where he works. He wedded Garima Tiwari, who is a Kanpur's Birhana Road-based model, on April 26, 2021.

Dowry Demands and Abuse Allegations

Her in-laws had insisted on ₹10 lakh in cash and a Honda City car during marriage, Garima said. The wedding ceremony had been postponed until ₹2.5 lakh was delivered, according to reports. She settled in at her in-laws' place of residence in Kidwai Nagar after the marriage, where she claims the dowry abuse went on. 

Relocation Didn't Help Garima

Later on, Amit and Garima shifted to Tilak Nagar, hoping to begin a new life. Still, Garima alleges that harassment and mental torture did not cease, even after they changed residences.

Allegations of Infidelity and Threats of Divorce

Garima has also accused Amit of physical abuse, mental harassment, and talking to other women on social media. She even shared screenshots of Amit's chats with other women. She also said that Amit often threatened her with divorce.

Garima's Mental Health and Suicide Attempts

According to her complaint, the constant abuse pushed Garima into depression, compelling her to leave her modeling career. She allegedly tried to commit suicide several times, but was rescued by her parents every time. Her lawyer, Kareem Ahmed Siddiqui, said the court has formally registered the case and issued legal notices.
