Mohali, July 12
The police arrested Parveen Kumar, a resident of Sector 80, and booked his father Satyawaan, mother Kalawati and sister Suman in a dowry death case. Parveen’s wife Lalita (25) was found dead in the house on Saturday afternoon.
The police said the victim hanged herself to death with a ceiling fan in her room. However, Lalita’s parents alleged that her in-laws had killed her.
A case under Sections 304-B and 120-B of the IPC was registered against the suspects at the Sohana police station on July 10. Parveen was today produced in a court, which remanded him to three-day police custody.
Complainant Ajay Kumar, brother of the victim, said her in-laws started harassing her for dowry. The harassment increased after she gave birth to a girl child.
Sohana SHO Bhagwant Singh said: “The victim’s post-mortem was conducted on Sunday. Her viscera samples have been sent to a forensic laboratory for further investigation.”
