Bagh Sewania police have registered a case of abetment to suicide against three persons including two women on Saturday. Harassed by her in-laws, a 30-year-old woman committed suicide by setting herself ablaze on April 8.
According to the police, in-laws of the deceased Aarti Bhan, who committed suicide in the month of April were booked for abetment of suicide after it was found that father-in-law Natthulal, mother-in-law Pushpa and sister-in-law Anita used to harass the decease demanding dowry.
The deceased set herself ablaze on April 8 and later during the treatment the deceased died at Hamidia hospital on April 15.
In the initial investigation the family members claimed that the deceased sustained burn injuries accidentally but in the investigation police found that the deceased committed suicide and the reason which was found in the investigation was the harassment by her father-in-law Natthulal, mother-in-law Pushpa and sister-in-law Anita demanding dowry.
During the investigation no suicide note was found by the police which supported the claims made by the in-laws but it was revealed later in the investigation that the deceased faced atrocities. The police have registered a case under section 306 of the IPC and have started further investigation.
Police said that the deceased was forced to face the harassment as her husband died in an accident few years ago and she was not left with any other shelter.
Search for the three have been started by the police and accused would be nabbed soon claimed the police.
