Chandigarh, Nov. 2 -- Police have booked a man and two of his family members for dowry death after his 22-year-old wife was found dead at the couple's house at Mauli Jagran in July. The victim, Nimita Raj, was found hanging at the rented accommodation barely 15 days after shifting there. The accused include her husband, Rajneesh, his sister Rama and Rama's husband Sandeep. Nimita's father Majnu, a resident of Madari village in Aurangabad, Sitapur, had submitted a written complaint to the Uttar Pradesh chief minister during a Janata Darshan programme on August 29, 2025. The complainant alleged that his daughter was subjected to continuous harassment, physical assault and dowry demands, eventually leading to her death. According to the complaint, Nimita married Rajneesh on December 9, 2024. The father stated he had borrowed around Rs.15 lakh for the wedding expenses. Soon after, Nimita informed her parents that she was being beaten "over every little thing" and repeatedly taunted with "What have you brought from home?". They took away her gold jewellery and also demanded a Mahindra Scorpio to start a business. After Nimita was found hanging in Mauli Jagran, the complainant alleged, the police removed the body and sent it for post-mortem without informing them and the report was "influenced to cover up the incident". On the father's complaint, a zero FIR was initially lodged at the Naimisharanya police station in Sitapur, under Sections 80 (2) (dowry death) and Section 85 (husband or his relative subjecting a woman to cruelty) of the BNS, and Sections 3 (taking dowry) and 4 (demanding dowry) of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The UP police informed their counterparts in Chandigarh and an FIR was lodged under the same sections at the Mauli Jagran station on October 31. HTC...
