New Delhi: A day after
a Congress councillor was found dead along with her baby daughter,
her husband has been arrested for dowry harassment, police said
Friday.
The accused has been sent to police custody.
Pawan Yadav, 28, was arrested late Thursday night under Section
304B (causing dowry death) of the Indian Penal Code. He was
presented in a Delhi court, which sent him to police custody for a
fortnight till Nov 23.
"A case of dowry death has been registered against her in-laws," a
police officer said.
Satyam, 26, of west Delhi's Nangloi area, was found hanging inside
her home around 8 a.m. Thursday.
The body of her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter was lying on the
bed.
Satyam, a native of Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, had moved to
Delhi in 2010 after her marriage to Pawan Yadav, a teacher in a
municipal corporation school.
She had a BEd degree and a Masters degree too, and was a
councillor from ward number 43 in Nangloi (East).
Satyam's family registered a complaint against her relatives
in-law, alleging that she was murdered for dowry.
"The family that Satyam married into had been 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 Yadav refuted the dowry allegations and told investigators
that his wife was upset over a family issue.
Satyam's family believe she was murdered; they do not think she
committed suicide.
