A newly-wed woman, Sapna, was allegedly murdered by her husband's family over dowry demands in Kotwa village, Ballia. Her body was found hanging from a ceiling fan, but the police suspect foul play.
The police registered a case based on the complaint filed by Sapna's maternal grandfather, Babbu Chauhan, and arrested three women, including Sapna's sister-in-law, Champa Devi, and two other sisters-in-law, Puja Devi and Reena Devi. They were booked under sections of the BNS and Dowry Prohibition Act.
According to the FIR, Sapna's family had given ₹90,000 via bank transfer, ₹three lakh in cash, along with a gold chain and a ring, as dowry to Sapna's in-laws. However, they allegedly continued to harass Sapna, demanding a Bullet motorcycle and an additional ₹three lakh.
The police sent the three accused women to judicial custody and are currently trying to arrest Sapna's husband, Narendra Chauhan. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are working to uncover the details of the alleged murder.
