Shahjahanpur: A pregnant woman was beaten to death and later her body was created by her husband and his brothers allegedly for dowry in Khutar area of Shahjahanpur district here in Uttar Pradesh, a police officer said here on Saturday.


Circle Officer (CO) Powayan Pankaj Pant said that Sarita Devi (180), a resident of Aurangabad village, got married to Shamsher Singh, a resident of Raghunathpur, five months back.

"It is being alleged that Shamsher was harassing Sarita for dowry since marriage," he said.
