In a horrifying incident in Faridabad, a young woman was allegedly killed and buried by her in-laws over dowry demands. The crime, which has sent shockwaves through the local community, came to light after the victim’s family raised concerns about her sudden disappearance.

The Palla Police Station has booked four members of the in-laws' family - identified as Bhoop Singh, originally from Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh, and daughter Kajal. Authorities report that the woman was murdered at the family’s residence and buried in a concealed location to cover up the crime.
