The police have booked three members of a Chandigarh-based family on the charge of harassing and physically assaulting their daughter-in law for dowry.

The accused have been identified Jagtar Singh, his brother Balwinder Singh and his wife Jaswinder Kaur, all residents of Sarangpur village near the PGI.

Lakhwinder Kaur, a resident of Sector 21, told the police that she was married to Jagtar Singh on November 21, 2016. She said her parents gave sufficient dowry as demanded by her in-laws. She said her sister-in-law Jaswinder used to demand dowry always. She said Jagtar Singh had two children —Parampreet (16) and Anmol Preet (9) — from his earlier marriage while she had an 8-year-old son. She said her husband refused to accept her son as his own. She said her husband and his family started taunting and physically assaulting her for bringing lesser dowry. She said her husband used to threaten her of dire consequences.

A case has been registered against the accused under Section 323, 406, 498A, 420, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Further investigations were on.
