Dowry Death Suspicions: Husband, Sister-in-Law Arrested
8 Jan
Summary
- Husband and sister-in-law arrested in connection with suspicious death.
- Investigation points to prolonged dowry-related abuse and possible murder.
- Multiple injuries contradict suicide claim; forensic reports awaited.
Police in Silchar have arrested the husband and sister-in-law of Puja Mishra, who died under suspicious circumstances earlier this month. The arrests followed emerging leads suggesting prolonged dowry-related abuse and potential murder. The investigation, initiated by a complaint from Puja's brother, focuses on continuous physical and mental harassment over dowry demands.
Statements from witnesses indicate that Puja was chased and assaulted on the night before her death. The multiple injury marks found on her body raise serious doubts about the initial claim of suicide. Her family reported that dowry harassment began shortly after her marriage about four years ago.
A case of planned murder has been registered against seven members of the in-laws' family. Police are analyzing call records and other evidence to identify all involved parties, with further arrests anticipated as the probe progresses.
