In a tragic turn of events, three women were detained on suspicions related to the alleged murder of a newlywed over dowry issues. The incident came to light when Sapna Chauhan, married to Narendra Chauhan, was discovered hanged at her in-laws' residence.
Police investigations revealed alarming claims of harassment for dowry, including cash and a Bullet motorcycle. Prior to her untimely death, Sapna's marriage had already seen significant dowry payments to her in-laws. A formal complaint by her grandfather triggered police actions.
Named in the FIR are Sapna's husband, Narendra Chauhan, his sister, and her two sisters-in-law. The arrested women are held pending further investigation, while searches continue for the husband. The case highlights the persistent issue of dowry-related violence, demanding urgent legal and social interventions.
