A 33-year-old woman from Noida was found dead inside her marital home in Bhopal, barely five months after she moved in with her powerful in-laws. Her family accused her husband and in-laws of mental harassment, dowry pressure, and abuse.
Bhopal Police asked the victim's family to take possession of her body, citing concerns that it could begin decomposing due to the lack of ultra-low temperature storage facilities at AIIMS Bhopal.
The police sent a letter to her father, stating that the body is being stored at minus four degrees Celsius, but AIIMS Bhopal recommended keeping it at minus 80 degrees Celsius to prevent decomposition.
The family has moved a local court seeking another post-mortem examination, citing concerns over lapses in the investigation and the FIR being filed three days after her death.
The police have no objection to a second post-mortem examination, but the final decision lies with the court.
