Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Mahila thana staff have registered an FIR against a man for harassing his wife over dowry demands, the police said on Wednesday.
Along with the man, his kin have also been booked for subjecting the woman to torture, the police added.
Investigating officer (IO) Mahesh Gautam told Free Press that the complainant woman has been identified as Archana Kanojiya (27), a resident of Bairagarh.
