She was harassed by her in- laws with the help of her husband on account of dowry. On 20.05.2009 her mother had gone on work time. The complainant along with her sister [ENTITY] after locking the gate of their house went to take vegetable and when they came back they found that most of the household articles and the clothes were lying in a scattered manner.
