A horrifying case of dowry-related violence has emerged from Uttar Pradeshs Amroha, where a woman named Meena was brutally killed by her husband, Sundar, for failing to meet his demands for a TVS Apache motorcycle and Rs 3 lakh in cash. The incident has shocked residents of Baikheda village, where Sundar had been living with Meena since their marriage two years ago.According to reports, Meena had been subjected to constant pressure and harassment over the unfulfilled dowry demands. Despite her struggles, she confided in her father about the relentless torment she faced from her husband.
