Woman found dead at her house in Panki

Kanpur: A woman's body was found hanging from the ceiling of her house in the Panki area of the city on Thursday evening. Her family accused her in-laws of killing her for dowry. Meanwhile, the in-laws claimed that there was a dispute with her husband over his liquor addiction. Upset, the woman sent the children out of the room and hanged herself.

Rajan, a resident of Mahavir Nagar, works at a courier company. He married 30-year-old Madhuri 11 years ago. They have two children. Madhuri's sister and brothers alleged that Rajan used to harass her. Madhuri complained several times that Rajan would often beat her. ADCP South Mahesh Kumar said, "Investigations are underway in this regard. Further action will be based upon the complaint and other necessary findings." tnn
