BOKARO: One Namita Devi (25) was burnt alive by her husband and in-laws and her body was tied to a tree in a jungle at Chagri village under Mahuataad police station in Bokaro district. Police recovered the body after a few days and was handed to her parents. On Monday, her angry father along with hundreds of villagers took her body to her in-laws' house and buried it near the front doorstep.
The incident has sent shock waves among the residents here. While Namita's body is still buried in the portico of her in-laws' house, police are trying to convince her parents to perform the last rites.
Namita's husband, Chandrika Mahto, and father-in-law, Bhatu Mahto, a Coking Coal Limited employee along with other members of the family have been absconding after the incident.
Namita, a resident of Dudhmatia, was married to Chandrika about four years back. She repeatedly complained to her parents that her husband and in-laws regularly tortured her for dowry, police said.
Mahuataad police station OC Dinesh Kumar Prajapati said they were informed by villagers about the body of a woman tied to a tree in the jungle on February 28. They rushed to the spot and recovered the dead body in a decomposed state. During investigation police found that she was Chandrika's wife.
When police went to Chandrika's house, they found the door locked. Policemen broke the door and went inside only to be greeted by the stench of burnt flesh.
After post-mortem and registering the case, police handed the Namita's body to her father of the deceased for the last rites.
"But Nandlal instead of perfoming the last rites went to Chandrika's house along with other villagers and buried the body near the front door," Prajapati said.
Bokaro SP Saket Singh said a case of dowry death has been registered against Chandrika and his family members.
