Ranjit Singh married Ranjit Kaur one and a half years back. Everything was going smooth until Kaur gave birth to a female child.
The family of the army jawan wanted a boy and they began harassing Ranjit Kaur. The family demanded a new car as dowry, which the bride's family could not fulfil, says Ranjit Kaur's brother Gurmeet Singh.
On Friday, the jawan's family rang up her family to say that she was not well. When the family members rushed to the spot, they found Ranjit Kaur lying dead by the roadside, with both her feet tied, says Gurmeet Singh.
The entire family of Ranjit Singh had fled leaving the newborn girl child alone.
Police is now on the lookout of the family members. A case of murder and dowry harassment has been registered.
