PRAYAGRAJ, June 6 -- Family members of an alleged victim of dowry death threw water on the burning pyre at Shringverpur Ghat, accusing the in-laws of killing their daughter for dowry. The incident occurred under Nawabganj police station area in Prayagraj on Thursday morning. As per reports, the agitated family members of the victim demanded the registration of a case against the accused. However, the body of the alleged victim was cremated after a panchayat held at the ghat for over two hours, along with police intervention. The father of the deceased has filed a complaint against five people including her in-laws and husband, accusing them of burning her alive. According to reports, Akanksha, daughter of Hanuman Prasad Jaiswal, resident of Sultanpur Khas in Nawabganj police station area, was married in 2023 to Shivam Jaiswal, a resident of Atrampur under the same police station. According to the complaint, the deceased's husband Shivam, father-in-law Rajendra, brother-in-law Rahul, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law Sangeeta had started torturing her mentally and physically a few years into the marriage. The in-laws allegedly kept demanding a four-wheeler and cash. On May 25, when the dowry demand was not met, Akanksha was allegedly burnt by pouring kerosene oil on her. When her condition became critical, she was admitted to a private hospital in Prayagraj, and later shifted to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi as her condition worsened. During treatment, Akanksha reportedly told her father and brother that she was burnt alive by her in-laws. She died during treatment at the hospital on the afternoon of June 3.
