The two siblings - eight-year-old Ajay and four-year-old Vishal - have been implicated under several sections of the IPC on charges of dowry harassment and cruelty against their sister-in-law and have been issued non-bailable warrants by the district court. Under Section 156 (3) of the CrPC, the district court had asked the police to register a case and arrest Ramesh Kuriel, a resident of Darshadev village in Kanpur dehat district, his wife Shanti and their sons, Abhinay (24), Ajay (8) and Vishal (4). The court issued the directive on a complaint filed by Abhinay's wife Deepa, who had alleged that her in-laws, husband and the two minor brothers-in-law tried to set her ablaze on December 2, 2006, because her family refused to pay a dowry of Rs 50,000 besides a bike. The children have been accused of helping the family in pouring kerosene on Deepa. While police cite compliance of court order and continue raiding possible hideouts in search of the children.
