In an incident of dowry death, a woman died when her in-laws allegedly thrashed her brutally and later threw hot rice gruel on her at Sankarikula village under the Bari police station in Jajpur district on Monday.
The deceased was identified as Tulasi Bari, daughter of Braja Kishore Das of Baruhan village in the district.
Tulasi had married one Rama, son of Bhikari Mallick, in April 2018. Though Braja had given dowry during the time of Tulasi’s marriage, her in-laws had allegedly been demanding more dowries and torturing her mentally and physically since then. It is also alleged that Tulasi’s sister-in-laws used to exploit her in the absence of her husband.
