Goa Mahila Congress President Pratima Coutinho told reporters on Thursday that the party's representatives would meet the victim and assured full support to her in the legal battle.
"She is a woman and is sad that a person with political clout has been harassing her and her family for dowry. We will meet the victim soon and support her in her struggle because it is a crime against a woman," Coutinho said.
On Wednesday, the Goa Police Women's Cell booked Hoble, his wife and son for dowry-related harassment and assaulting his daughter-in-law.
The three have been booked under sections 498 (a), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (ii) (criminal intention) and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
Hoble has, however, said that the complaint was baseless and politically motivated.
"It was a minor domestic dispute. But the accusation of dowry is baseless. This is a politically motivated complaint to defame me and my family," Hoble maintained.
