A zero FIR was filed by the victim’s family at the Seohara police station in Bijnore and was received at the Mauli Jagran police station in Chandigarh on Monday; as per the complaint, Taslima, who had got married to Ashif in July 2018, was being pressurised to bring more dowry
With these observations, the court rejected the claim of the accused male partner that since the victim was his live-in partner, the provision of dowry death would not apply in this case.
Police said her brother-in-law allegedly slashed her neck twice using a knife, killing her on the spot. To mislead police, he also attacked his brother with the knife three to four times
