30 May 10 Juggling two mothers-in-law, woman makes off with 50 lakh
New Delhi: If you are one of those who feel incomplete without a daily dose of their favourite Saas-Bahu serials on TV, then you must know the confounding nature of the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.
So when a woman is juggling two mothers-in-law, your sympathies would probably lie with the former. Well, you might reconsider when you hear the rather interesting conduct of this bahu.
Meetu Talwar, a resident of West Delhi, allegedly drugged and robbed her two mothers-in-law off jewellery worth Rs 50 lakh on Friday night. The accused’s husband Nirmohan Singh is a businessman and is currently in the US.
Nirmohan’s father has two wives, Savinder Kaur and Har Kaur; both live with Neetu at A-97, Krishna Park in Tilak Nagar.
On May 14,Meetu Talwar served some mango shake to her mothers-in-law. The elderly women had their fill and went to bed. They woke up next morning at 9 am. (more…)

12 Sep 09 Attitude towards mom-in-laws should change
We will try to meet every Sunday and discuss cases of harassment
Odeal D’Souza
In September 2007, a 50-year-old lady along with her family members were arrested in the city, after her daughter-in-law levied false charges of dowry harassment against them and demanded Rs12 lakh as compensation. Two years later, she and two other women formed an NGO, the ‘All India Mothers-in-law Protection Forum (AIMPF)’ to fight against injustices that mothers-in-law often have to face in the county. This was launched last Sunday in the city. Neena Dhulia, one of the coordinators of the NGO, spoke to Odeal D’Souza on the forum’s initiatives and other related issues.
Tell us something about the initial days of the forum.
When we, some of the founding members of this forum who are also the members of Safe Indian Family Foundation, met for discussions, we realised that all of us faced a similar problem-false cases of dowry harassment filed against us by our daughters-in-law. So we decided to form this organisation that was officially launched last Sunday. Apart from myself, there are two other co-ordinators – Mamta Naik and Sahira Shiggon.

08 Sep 09 Moms-in-law run for cover
Mothers-in-law, under the umbrella of All India Mother-in-law Protection Forum, come together to protect themselves against harassment from daughters-in-law
Written by Manasi Paresh Kumar
Harassed mothers-in-law? Though the term sounds like a complete oxymoron, the 50-odd members of the All India Mother-in-law Protection Forum (AIMPF) who gathered at Cubbon Park on Sunday vehemently asserted their victim status.
Most of the women, who were in their late 50s, had the same story to tell. Their daughters-in-law had filed false cases against them and their families and they had no help because the mothers-in-law were the original stereotyped monsters. “Nobody wants to believe the grooms’ family, and the mothers-in-law can be a harassed lot,” said Meena Menon, whose daughter-in-law allegedly demanded Rs 10 lakh to withdraw the dowry case against her family.
