The woman was shot dead allegedly by her husband Vikas last night with her parents alleging that she was being harrassed for want of dowry, and killed by her in-laws when she failed to fulfil their demands, police said.
The woman's father has lodged a case of murder against her husband, brother-in-law Aakash, father-in-law Sohan Pal, mother-in-law Suman and sister-in-law Pooja.
"Vikas has been arrested and the pistol used in commiting the crime seized from his possession. Efforts are being made to nab the other accused," police station in-charge Dhirendra Yadav said.
