A 25-year-old woman was found hanging at her in-laws' house in Uttar Pradesh's Pratapgarh district, following which police registered a case of dowry death against her husband and his parents, officials said on Thursday.
Rohini alias Antima was found hanging inside a room of the house in Jamethi village on Wednesday, Circle Officer Kunda Shiv Narayan Bais said.
Police sent her body for post-mortem after being informed about the incident.
Rohini's father, Ganga Sagar Mishra, a resident of Bishahiya under Hathigwan police station, alleged in his complaint that she was married to Akash Mishra in February 2025 and had been harassed by her in-laws over dowry.
He alleged that after the dowry demand was not met, the accused killed his daughter and hanged her to make the death appear to be a suicide.
Based on the complaint, Kunda police registered a case of dowry death against Akash, his mother Manju Mishra and father Anirudh Mishra.
Manju and Anirudh have been arrested, while efforts are underway to apprehend Akash, the officer said.
