The family said her in-laws later dumped the body on a footpath near Itehra chowk in Bisrakh on Sunday night. The in-laws have been booked and the husband detained for questioning.
The deceased, Bharti Yadav, was a resident of Sarfabad village in Sector 73. She was married to one Ravindra Yadav in 2013 and the couple have two kids.
Bharti’s brother Rahul said her in-laws harassed her over dowry.“We gave them Rs 5 lakh once but they did not stop and demanded more cash along with a flat and a big car for their family. When she could not fulfil their demands, they killed her,” he added.
