‘Thrown off roof’ by in-laws over dowry demand, Ghaziabad woman dies in hospital
The DCP said that the CCTV footage shows the woman falling on a road outside her in-laws’ house at night and some locals gathering around her.
On September 7, a 23-year-old woman from Bhangel in Gautam Budh Nagar died after being allegedly thrown off the roof of her marital home in Muradnagar by her in-laws, according to an FIR filed for dowry death. The police have detained the woman's husband and father-in-law, and CCTV footage shows her falling onto the road outside their house at night.
The footage is being investigated, though its authenticity has not been independently verified by HT. The woman's brother filed the FIR, alleging that her in-laws had been beating her and pressuring her for dowry demands. After the wedding was initially called off in February due to these demands, the couple married in court on March 23.
The police registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Dowry Prohibition Act, naming four in-laws and the husband.
