Police have arrested the woman's husband Vipin (31), who runs a printing press, and mother-in-law Sushila after her family filed a complaint alleging that she was harassed and tortured to death for dowry.
The incident was reported on the intervening night of November 15-16, after a private hospital, where Nidhi, mother of two daughters, was brought in unconscious state by her husband and in-laws, called police.
Nidhi's family alleged that Vipin was demanding a four wheeler from them.
When Vipin reached home, he found Nidhi lying unconscious in a bedroom. She was rushed to the nearby private hospital where she was declared brought dead, police said.
