PATIALA – The police has registered a case against five members of family in a dowry death case. Sardara Singh, a resident of Bakhshiwal village, alleged that his daughter was burned to death by her in-laws for bringing ‘enough’ dowry.
Sardara said in 2008, his daughter Karamjit Kaur got married to Jagdish Singh, who along with his family members tortured Karamjit and asked her to bring more dowry. “On July 26, Karamjit’s in-laws poured diesel over my daughter and burnt her. We admitted her to a hospital but she succumbed to her injuries,” said Sardara. A case has been registered against Jagdish Singh, his brother Harjeet Singh, sister Jhain, mother Shamsher Kaur and father Bawa Singh. “We are yet to arrest the accused,” said Kherhi Gandian SHO Satpal Singh.
