The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigation into a case registered by the Meerut police against a Wardha based man, on the directions of the Allahabad High Court, in connection with the death of his wife in Seattle (United States) last year.

According to the CBI, the daughter of the petitioner had married the Wardha-based man on November 27, 2020, following which the couple shifted to the US, where the woman died in a blast at home. When the petitioner came to know about the incident, she lodged an FIR on September 28, 2023, in Meerut (Uttar Pradesh), making allegations of dowry death under section 304B (dowry death) of the Indian Penal Code, against the man.

Later, she also complained to the CBI, on October 15, 2023, the Meerut police submitted a report to the Inspector General of Police, recommending probe by the CBI as the alleged offence was committed outside India. When no action was taken, the petitioner approached the court.
