The Kalamboli police on Tuesday arrested the husband and in-laws of a 28-year-old assistant sales manager of a prominent media group for allegedly murdering her. The victim,Madhu Yadav,was on Monday night rushed to MGM Hospital where she died. Her husband and in-laws were arrested after Madhus father registered a complaint alleging that his daughter was harassed and killed. The arrested persons have been identified as the victims husband Samit (33),his father Akhilesh (60) and mother (58). The incident is said to have taken place in the Osho Kabir Building at Khanda Colony in New Panvel (West). We had decided to take a case under Section 498 A (cruelty against woman) of the Indian Penal Code. However,when medical reports of the victim came,we learnt that the cause of death was compression to her neck. A case of murder was then registered against her husband and in-laws, K T Vidhate senior inspector of Kalamboli police said. Vidhate said the three persons were arrested on Tuesday after a post-mortem reports of the victim had come out. Police said,Yadavs elder sister Mamta (30) was called by her in-laws on Tuesday and told that her sister had committed suicide. Mamta has alleged that her sister was harassed by her in-laws over monetary issues. Madhu told us that they would regularly call her office to see what time she came in and what time she left. During the calls,they often asked how much money she made. Things had reached a boiling point,and my sister was told by her office to solve domestic problems first and then report for work. I have a feeling that this argument may have led to her murder, she said. Vidhate said,Yadavs father has alleged that her husband and in-laws demanded a car from the family and told them to sell their house in Delhi to get finances. They have been charged for the offence and will be produced in court on Wednesday, Vidhate said.
