The victim, Hina, was killed on Sunday evening after prolonged harassment for dowry, officials said.
Circle Officer D Bajpai told reporters that police rushed to the spot upon receiving information and sent the body for postmortem.
A case has been registered against the victim's husband Khushnaseeb, father-in-law Intazar, mother-in-law Farzana and two brothers-in-laws, all of whom are absconding, he said.
Police teams have been formed to trace and arrest the accused, Bajpai added.
According to a complaint lodged by Hina's brother, she was married to Khushnaseeb on May 21, 2023, and had been facing continuous harassment for dowry since then.
