On April 13, the victim Sangeeta was preparing dinner at her in-laws house in Vasundhara residential locality under Indirapuram police station of this city, when her husband Sanjeev Nagar, father-in-law Rich Pal Nagar and mother-in-law Ram Bhuli Nagar tried to burn her by pouring diesel on her, attempting to make it look like a case of accidental fire.
However, neighbours came to her rescue and soon her parents and brother took her to Safdarjung hospital in Delhi. After registering a case, the police initiated a probe in the case.
The FIR stated that Sangeeta told her mother in the hospital that her husband had been demanding Rs 25 lakh since a month.
In the complaint, Sangeeta's brother Pradeep said that he received hefty compensation for some of his land acquired by the state in June 2016 and upon hearing this, her in-laws started demanding dowry.
Sangeeta, a teacher by profession, was married to Sanjeev on November 27, 2002. She earns a salary of Rs 50,000 per month and has two children.
"The husband has been arrested and an investigation is underway to ascertain the role of the in-laws," said Superintendent of Police (City) Salman Taj Patil.
