Dowry death cuffs on 7 in Phulbani
Berhampur:
Seven persons, including two teenagers, were arrested on Sunday in
connection with the death of a woman in a dowry case at Phulbani.
Jasaswini Kanhar (25), the wife of Sujit Kanhar, the assistant
commercial tax officer (ACTO), Sambalpur, died on Friday, police said.
Police recovered the body hanging at her in-law's house on Friday. The
brother of the deceased Yashawanta alleged his sister was killed by her
in-laws for more dowry. The in-laws, however, denied the allegation and
said she committed suicide. "We are waiting for the post-mortem report
to ascertain the exact cause of her death," said inspector in-charge of
town police station, Phulbani, S S Pujari.
"Almost all the
dowry items have been seized and a case against nine persons, including
the husband of the deceased, has been registered," said Pujari. The
deceased's husband is yet to be arrested, police said.
Police
said Jasaswini of Peonpada in Phulbani married Sujit about three months
ago. According to the complaint lodged by her brother, she was tortured
by the in-laws for more dowry since her marriage, police said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Dowry-death-cuffs-on-7-in-Phulbani/articleshow/19927493.cms?intenttarget=no
