Earlier, another woman died under suspicious circumstances in Noida.

The deceased woman's brother claimed that even after giving Rs 11 lakh as dowry, her in-laws demanded a Rs 21 lakh Fortuner.

The woman's family tried to resolve the issue by holding Panchayat meetings in the village. To settle the matter, they gave Rs 10 lakh to the in-laws, but their dowry demands were still not fully met.

When the demands were not fulfilled, the in-laws allegedly killed the woman.
