The Nakodar Sadar police have booked three members of an in-laws’ family for dowry harassment, cruelty and committing the crime with common intention.

Investigating officer (IO) Amrik Singh said the accused have been identified as Nachhtar Pal, his father Malkit Singh and his mother Kulwindar Kaur.

The victim had complained to the police that she used to be harassed for dowry and that her in-laws used to torture her and thrash her.
