of his sister, the appellant gave sufficient dowry but the in-laws of his sister were not happy. Husband-Vishal Kumar alias Tinku, father-inlaw-Ram Kishan alias Kishan Kumar alias Kishu Pehalwan and sister-in-law-Pooja of Neelam Sharma used to harass her for bringing less dowry. She used to apprise the appellant on phone about the atrocities suffered by her at the hands of her in-laws. However, the appellant had been assuring his sister that he would pursuade her inlaws. On 12.8.2013 at 5.46 p.m., the appellant received a phone call from father-in-law of his sister Neelam Sharma that they had killed Neelam Sharma and there was no need to fulfill the demand of dowry. The appellant, alongwith his brother, reached the matrimonial home of Neelam Sharma and saw her dead body lying on a bed on the second storey of the house. At that time Neelam Sharma was having a pregnancy of three months. There were abrasions on the neck of his sister and it seemed that she had been strangulated to death. Accordingly, while getting his statement recorded before Inspector Jagdish Raj, the appellant sought taking of action against the three accused. On the basis of the said statement, FIR under Sections 304-B/34 IPC was registered. During the investigation of the case, the dead body of Neelam Sharma was subjected to postmortem and from the bra worn by her, one suicide note was found upon which it was mentioned that her in-laws' family was responsible for her death.
