BETUL: A woman was beaten up in full public view by her husband and in-laws, who allegedly also tried to set her ablaze, after she failed to meet their demand for dowry in a village near here, police said today.
In her complaint, Seema alleged that her husband Kishore Geed, mother-in-law Malabai, sister-in-law and brother-in-law had been putting pressure on her to get dowry since their wedding a year ago.
On Thursday, Kishore asked his wife to call her father and ask for money, but she refused. Enraged, Kishore, his mother and other relatives allegedly poured kerosene on Seema, but before they could set her afire she managed to escape from the house and boarded a Betul-bound bus.
The family members purportedly followed and forced Seema to alight from the bus, pulled her sari and beat her up in full public view, police said, quoting the complaint.
The incident occurred in Sendurjana village under Saikheda Police Station of the district.
The victim somehow managed to inform her parents about the incident, following which she was taken to Betul yesterday and admitted in the district hospital.
Betul SP Bahgwant Singh Chouhan said a case has been registered against the victim's husband and other relatives and appropriate action would be taken against them.
