The Mukhani police have registered a case against four people, including the woman’s husband, under relevant sections including dowry death, based on the woman’s family members’ complaint, and the police are investigating the entire matter.

Girand, originally a resident of Shahjahanpur police station Kalantah in Uttar Pradesh, has given a police complaint that 6 years ago he married his daughter Anita to Anuj, a resident of Rodi Kargaina, Subhashnagar Bareilly, who now lives in Mukhani police station area of Nainital district’s Haldwani.

Girand’s daughter’s body was discovered hanging in her husband’s house in Haldwani on Wednesday under suspicious circumstances. The husband took Anita to the hospital in a dead state in order to deceive the police. Not only that, but he continued to roam for about an hour in order to mislead the cops.
