The woman who was admitted to Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital on thursday after her in-laws have beaten her mercilessly due to failure to meet the demand of Rs 5 lakh in dowry has died.

The family member of the victim has accused her in-laws of dowry killing, but the case has not yet been registered. Razia Begum wife of Khizar Mohammad, a resident of Maulana Azad Nagar police station area, said that she had married her daughter Hina Parveen with Fayeem, a resident of Angwal village in Khurja Bulandshahr, about 1.5 years ago. Hina's husband Fayeem and his family were not satisfied with the dowry in Nikah. They used to abuse and beat Hina for demanding an additional five lakh rupees. About three months ago, Hina gave birth to a daughter.

Even after becoming a mother, he continued to misbehave with Hina. The in-laws were fueled by the birth of a daughter. On November 22, when the demand for money was not met, Hina was beaten and her in-laws fled leaving her in the maternal house. The injured Hina was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city. She was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi after her condition deteriorated, where she died leaving behind an innocent daughter who is crying for her mother.

SSI Chanchal Sirohi said that complaint has not yet been received from any side. Inspector Chhote Lal informed that action will be taken on getting a complaint.
