A girl, who had married of her own free will, died mysteriously at her in-law’s home at Sakhu Chak, a border village of Shakargarh, her father said on Thursday. On the other hand, the girl’s father alleged that her daughter, who had married one-and-a-half-year back, had been murdered by her in-laws by administering her poisonous pills. “Her in-laws would frequently quarrel with her,” he said. “My daughter’s mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not pleased with the marriage,” he said, and added, “Only a few days ago, I had sent her to her in-laws home after her reconciliation with her husband. But today, I have received her dead body.” The body was later transported to Tehsil Teaching Hospital for the post-mortem.
