Getting threat from accused, says kin of woman shot dead

Greater Noida: Family members of a 26-year-old woman, who was shot dead by her brother-in-law in May for allegedly refusing to cook, have claimed that they have been getting death threats from an accused who is on the run.
The family in Bulandshahr has demanded that one of the accused in the case, Jatin Sharma, be arrested immediately.
Of the four accused, three have been arrested, including the woman’s brother-in-law.
The family said that recently, a group of local residents told them not to take up the matter with cops. Following this, the family reached the police commissioner’s office on Friday and staged a protest alleging inaction.
The brother of the woman, Rachna Sharma, has said that Jatin’s family has been trying to hush up the probe. “We gathered at the commissioner’s office because the local cops are taking the accused family’s side.Even people from our village are asking us to withdraw the charges,” the woman’s brother alleged.
Vipin and Rachna got married in 2014 and Rachna has been staying with her in-laws at Escort Colony area of Dadri. As per the complaint, her brother-in-law Prince shot her in the chest on May 18 after she had refused to cook chicken.
The woman’s family has alleged that the family had been asking for dowry for the past few years. “Even a night before the incident, Rachna called us to say Jatin had hit her in an inebriated state. We had promised her that we would go there and bring her back. But she was killed before that,” said her brother.
Vipin, his two brothers, and uncle Jatin were booked under sections 498 A (dowry death), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 304B (death of woman caused by burns or bodily injury or other than under normal circumstances within seven years of marriage) of the IPC, and sections of Dowry Prohibition Act.
