Rape and attempt to murder daughter-in-law for not getting Rs 20 lakh in dowry

When a married woman resident of a mohalla in the city Kotwali area did not fulfill the demand of Rs 20 lakh in dowry, the people of her in-laws' side tried to kill her. Not only this, finding her alone at home, the accused brother-in-law also tried to rape her. On the complaint of the victim, the Mahila Thana Police has registered a report against four accused including the accused husband. The victim, a resident of the mohalla, told that on May 10, 2023, she was married to a youth resident of Pandavnagar Delhi. Her maternal family had spent about Rs 50 lakh in the marriage. On May 14, her husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law and brother-in-law started harassing her by demanding an additional Rs 20 lakh in dowry. Fed up and troubled by the harassment of the accused, she told everything to her maternal family. On this, her father and brother explained a lot to the people of the in-laws' side, but the accused did not agree.

On 24 September 2023, the people of the in-laws' side had gone out of the house and she was alone at home. Meanwhile, the accused brother-in-law Kunal came to the house and forcibly tried to rape her. If she told anyone, the accused brother-in-law threatened to defame her in the society. On this, the victim did not tell anyone about the incident. After this, on the night of 13 March 2024, at around eight o'clock, the accused beat her and tried to kill her by strangulating her with the dupatta around her neck. On making noise, the people around gathered here. Seeing them, the accused locked her in the room. She informed her maternal family about this. On March 16, her brother reached her in-laws' house and tried to convince the people of the in-laws' side, but the accused did not agree. After this, her brother brought the victim to her maternal home with him. CO Jitendra Kumar Sharma said that on the complaint of the victim, a report has been registered against the four people of the in-laws' side including her husband. The matter is being investigated.
