New Delhi police have arrested the mother-in-law and brother-in-law of a woman, who had been on the run for six years in connection with the murder of a woman over dowry in North Delhi in 2018. Teams captured the suspects at their hideouts by conducting simultaneous operations in Haryana and Delhi.
The case began with the suspicious death of a woman in January 2018. The victim's family claimed that the woman did not commit suicide, but was strangled to death by her in-laws. Subsequently, charges of torture and dowry death were initially added to the investigation, followed by an official murder charge.
As part of the investigation, the woman's husband and father-in-law, who had previously passed away, were arrested. However, mother-in-law Kanchan and brother-in-law Jatin managed to evade arrest by constantly changing addresses over the years after their anticipatory bail pleas were rejected. The two suspects were produced before the court for legal proceedings following their arrest.
