Bijnor: A woman has alleged that her husband and in-laws killed her newborn son and buried him without informing her, with an FIR registered against five people on the directions of the State Women’s Commission.
In her complaint, Urusa Parveen, 26, said she had been facing dowry-related harassment and physical assault by her husband, in-laws and sisters-in-law since her marriage to Mohammad Afzal, 27, a baker from Mufti Sarai locality in Chandpur, two years ago. On Oct 28, Parveen delivered a baby boy at a nursing home in Chandpur. Chandpur SHO Kishan Avatar said, “An FIR was registered under BNS Section 85 (cruelty by husband or his relatives) and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, against Mohd Afzal, Israr, Saira Khatoon, Sania and Nida.

She said she continued to live at her matrimonial home despite the harassment to protect the family’s reputation. After regaining consciousness, she asked about the newborn, but her mother-in-law allegedly told her that the baby had been kept in a machine and that she could see him the following morning. When Parveen insisted on seeing her child the next day, her in-laws allegedly told her that the newborn had died during the night and had already been buried, without informing her earlier.
