Doctor Dowry Death in UP: CBI conducts searches, Recovers Incriminating Evidence
The CBI registered a formal case on January 22 against five accused including the doctor's husband in compliance with Supreme Court's December 17 order and took over the investigation from UP Police.
New Delhi: The CBI has carried out searches in Uttar Pradesh's Agra in the case of a doctor who was found dead at her home in mysterious circumstances, and whose family accused her in-laws of killing her for dowry, officials said on Tuesday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the case last month after Supreme Court's December 2020 order.
The agency sleuths raided two premises of the accused in Agra and recovered some incriminating evidence in the form of documents relevant to the case, and some immovable assets. These documents include laptops, mobile phones, and some papers relating to various bank accounts.
The CBI registered a formal case on January 22 against five accused including the doctor's husband in compliance with Supreme Court's December 17 order and took over the investigation from UP Police.
The victim's husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law were booked by the agency in the case.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the complaint was moved by the deceased doctor's father on 7 August 2020 on the basis of an FIR that was registered at Police Station Tajganj in the District of Agra.
According to the FIR, his daughter got married to the son of the accused doctor on 3 November 2014. The deceased herself was a qualified doctor by profession. An amount of Rs.1.5 crores was spent on the occasion of her marriage. However, the in-laws were allegedly dissatisfied with the money brought by the bride and she was pressurized to bring an amount of Rs. 1 crore. Further, the deceased's father allegedly paid money by cheque to the groom's family in the interest of the domestic happiness of his daughter.

The doctor's father had leveled allegations that his daughter was killed by her in-laws and her husband. It was further alleged that the accused were continuously demanding dowry and used to torture her for this. It was also alleged that the father had tried to meet the demands of dowry many times but that did not satisfy the in-laws and ultimately she was tortured and died on August 6 last year.
The husband was then arrested by local police, and currently, he is in judicial custody. "Investigation is still on in the case," the CBI told IANS.
