| Court rejects bail of mother-in-law in dowry death case | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 30: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua, Kamlesh Pandit has rejected the bail application of Shankuntla Devi mother-in-law of deceased Anju Devi in dowry death case.
On 21-10-2021, Police Station Rajbagh-Kathua received information that one lady namely Anju Devi (deceased) was under medical treatment at GMC Kathua after consuming some poisonous substance resulting into death. As a death was caused under suspicious circumstances therefore proceedings under section 174 Cr PC were initiated and inquiry was entrusted to ASI Ranbir Singh.
Statements of the father, mother, brother and sister of the deceased were recorded under section 175 Cr PC from where it transpired that the deceased committed suicide as the accused person along with her son (co-accused) were demanded repeatedly dowry from her and were treating her with cruelty which was revealed by the deceased to her parents on 20-10-2021 on phone and thereafter on 21-10-2021 she committed suicide.
It has been further stated that the death of the deceased was caused at 2.25 hours but her husband informed the parents of the deceased after 6 hours. Consequently the inquest proceedings were converted into the FIR NO. .218/2021 for commission of offence under section 304-B IPC and investigation is thereafter in progress. One of the accused persons Surinder Pal has been arrested and present accused herein has given slip to investigating agency.
While rejecting the bail application, Additional Sessions Judge Kathua observed that accused is prima facie involved in serious offence of dowry death. In this case death of a young lady has occurred because of suicide as she has fallen prey to the dowry demand of the accused/applicant herein. |
