The investigation into the alleged dowry death of a young woman in Greater Noida has taken a significant turn after investigators recovered fresh video clips and forensic evidence suggesting possible use of an inflammable liquid.
The woman, who died earlier this month under suspicious circumstances at her in-laws’ residence, was initially believed to have died by suicide. However, the emergence of new details has cast doubt on that narrative. Sources close to the case revealed that investigators have found traces of a highly inflammable substance at the site of the incident, raising suspicions of foul play.
Adding to the complexity of the probe, recently surfaced video clips reportedly show the victim in distress in the days leading up to her death. Police officials are examining whether these videos can help establish a clearer timeline of events and the nature of her relationship with her in-laws.
The victim’s family has repeatedly accused the in-laws of harassment and dowry demands. They allege that the woman was mentally and physically harassed for months, leading up to her tragic death. “She often confided in us about the pressure she was facing,” a family member said.
Police have so far questioned several members of the household, and further arrests have not been ruled out. Forensic teams are also conducting detailed analysis of the chemical traces and electronic evidence to confirm whether the woman was forced into a situation that led to her death.
The case has triggered public outrage and renewed debate over the persistence of dowry-related violence despite strict laws against the practice. Women’s rights activists have called for a speedy and transparent investigation, while local authorities have assured that no stone will be left unturned.
If proven to be a case of dowry death, the accused could face stringent punishment under sections of the Indian Penal Code dealing with dowry-related crimes and abetment to suicide.
The investigation is still underway, and officials say the final report will depend heavily on forensic results and digital evidence.
