However, her family later approached the police with a detailed statement outlining alleged dowry harassment and prolonged mental cruelty, said a police officer.

The duo also allegedly did not let the woman pursue employment.
On Thursday, the police booked them under Sections 108 (abetment of suicide), 85 (cruelty by husband), and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. No arrests have been made so far, but the police will investigate by collecting statements from family members, neighbours, and other witnesses and verify any financial records, the officer said.HTC...
