Brother finds sister stabbed and lying outside in-law's house
A brother found his sister lying in a pool of blood outside her in-law's house when he had gone to visit her on Bhai Dooj. The court found the woman’s husband guilty of murdering her.
The case had occurred in Vidur Nagar under Dwarkapuri police station in 2016. DPO Akram Sheikh said additional session judge Ashutosh Shukla sentenced husband Santosh Patidar, to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1,000 for killing his wife Roshni.
Roshni had told her brother Manish before dying that her husband Santosh had stabbed her twice in her stomach and on her legs and had thrown her out of the house. Manish rushed her to the hospital, but she died during treatment. Police had registered a case first under Section 307 and later when Roshni died under Section 302, against Santosh.
Life term for dowry death

DPO Akram Sheikh said additional session judge Yogendra Kumar Tyagi found husband Ajay Wadiya (29) guilty of the death of his wife and gave a life sentence and also fined him Rs 5,000. His wife had committed suicide by hanging herself on September 9, 2016, and though Ajay had taken his wife to the hospital, she was declared dead.
