In a shocking incident, a woman was found alive two years after a dowry-death case was filed against her husband and in-laws in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya district.

The case dates back to 2023, when the 20-year-old woman went missing from her marital home in Auraiya. After initial searches, she was nowhere to be found and eventually, a missing person's case was registered on October 23, 2023.

After extensive searches yielded no result and she was not found, her family accused the husband and in-laws of killing her for dowry.

Dowry Death case on court order

Later, on the order of the court, a case was registered against her husband and six in-laws. They were booked under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code, which relates to dowry deaths.
