A newly married woman was allegedly burnt alive by her in-laws for dowry at Julahapur village in UP. The police lodged a case of dowry death against her husband and in-laws, while the accused are absconding.
According to reports, Bhola Jaiswal, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar district, fixed the marriage of his daughter, Shweta Jaiswal, with Vikas Jaiswal, and the marriage ceremony was held on December 3.
Shweta’s father alleged that after marriage, her in-laws started demanding Rs two lakh as dowry. “When I showed our inability to give the amount, they started torturing my daughter,” said Bhola, adding that he received her last call on Thursday evening narrating her ordeal.
Sometime on Thursday night, she was allegedly set ablaze. The police reached there after getting information and rushed her to the district hospital for treatment. Some of her kin recorded her statement on mobile before she succumbed to burns. In her statement, she alleged that she was burnt by her in-laws for dowry.
