The Uttar Pradesh police on Saturday arrested the husband and in-laws of a 23-year-old woman for allegedly killing her, an official said.
Circle Officer Ashok Kumar Singh said Hansika (23), daughter of Akhilesh Kumar Shukla, a resident of Lucknow, had married to Shivam Dubey three years ago.
Singh said family members of Hansika alleged that after one year of her marriage, her in-laws started demanding dowry and used to beat her up.
On Friday, her in-laws informed that she has committed suicide.
On Saturday, a case of murder for dowry was lodged on the complaints of Hansika's family, who alleged that she was strangled to death.
