Mother of 8-month-old falls victim to dowry

Jammu, June 18 (UNI) Police have arrested six members of a family, including two women, allegedly for demanding dowry and abetting death of a young woman at their residence near famous Raghunath Temple in the heart of city, official sources today said.

A mother of an eight-month-old baby, Neha Grover, died of strangulation at her residence late yesterday, sources said.

''Her parents have alleged that she was being harassed by in-laws, particularly by her mother-in-law and wife of her brother-in-law,'' sources said, adding that police have registered a case of dowry death and arrested all the members of her in-laws' family, including Neha's husband Raj Kumar Grover.

However, police said, ''It is premature to say whether she had committed suicide or torture that led to her death. We are investigating the matter.'' UNI
