New Delhi: A Congress
councillor was found dead along with her baby daughter at her home
here Thursday, police said, even as her parents said she was
killed for dowry.
Satyam Yadav, 26 of west Delhi's Nangloi area, was found hanging
inside her home around 8 a.m. on her birthday, a police officer
said. The body of her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter was lying
on the bed.
"It seems Yadav hung herself after strangulating her daughter. But
we cannot confirm anything before the post-mortem," Additional
Commissioner of Police V. Renganathan said. No suicide note was
recovered from her possession.
Yadav, who had completed her masters degree and had also a B.Ed,
was a councillor from ward number 43 in Nangloi (East).
She was a native of Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh and moved to
Delhi in 2010 after her marriage to Pawan Yadav, 28, a teacher in
a municipal corporation school.
Satyam's family members have registered a complaint against her
in-laws alleging that she was murdered because of dowry.
"Satyam's in-laws were demanding Rs.10 lakh (as dowry). We went to
Delhi to bring her back to Bulandshahr. They refused to let her
come and said they will not leave her until their demands were
fulfilled," said Satyam's elder brother Nishant Yadav.
Pawan, refuting the dowry allegations made by her family members,
told investigators that Wednesday night she was upset over some
family issue.
"I was with her inside her room till 12.30 a.m. As she was
disturbed over some issue, I left her inside her room and went to
another room. When I entered her room Thursday morning, she was
found hanging while my daughter was lying dead on the bed," said
Pawan.
The police officer said a case has been registered against Pawan,
his father Lala Ram Yadav and his mother Suman.
Satyam, the youngest member of her family, was elected as a
councillor in the last civic polls held in Delhi.
"Probe is on in the matter. Satyam's in-laws and her family
members will be questioned separately after the police gets her
post-mortem report. Her in-laws might be arrested if the
allegations made against them are found correct," said Renganathan.
