The FIR has been lodged based on the statement of the victim’s mother. The complainant stated that her daughter had gotten married two years ago. She alleged that soon after the marriage, the accused started harassing her daughter for dowry, following which she came back to live with them three months ago.

The complainant added that they recently came to know that her son-in-law has gone abroad without informing them, due to which her daughter was depressed.

Sub-inspector Varinderpal Singh, investigating officer, said that an FIR has been lodged under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code. He added that police have found that the deceased’s husband has not gone abroad and he and his family had lied to her.
