Bantwal, Apr 27: Newly married 21-year-old woman was found hanging from a beam of the well at Sajipa Nadu, Jakribettu in the taluk on Tuesday April 27.
The deceased has been identified as Fathimath Zohra (21), wife of Hameed (26) here, who is employed in a wood industry at Konaje. The incident came to light when the neighbours found the body hanging in the morning. Zohra was married on January 30, about three months ago and parents of the victim now allege that the incident is a murder in demand for dowry.
Zohra’s relatives claim that Hameed not only harassed her demanding additional dowry, but recently also demanded gold jewels from Zohra’s parents. “It is a cold-blooded murder by Hameed, who killed her and later hanged her,” parents alleged.
A case has been registered and Hameed is now in custody of Bantwal rural police.
