BOKARO: A man allegedly poisoned his wife to death at Mundra under Nawadih police station here on Monday after his demand for dowry was not fulfilled.

The father of the deceased also alleged that the husband, Dilu Mahto had an illicit relationship with his sister-in-law. Sita (22) was married to Mahto three years ago. Initially things were fine, but later Mahto started torturing her for money. DSP, Bermo, Santosh Pathak said police found Sita's body in her bed. Although the cause of death would be clear after postmortem, preliminary investigation revealed that she died of poison. Sita's father said he had thrice pleaded with the panchayat for justice while complaining about the torture on his daughter. The panchayats had even warned Mahto not to torture her again.

"But a few days ago Mahto demanded Rs 50,000 cash from me, and when I could not provide the money he killed my daughter," he said .
