JAISALMER: The Additional District and Sessions Court (ADJ) at Pokaran in Jaisalmer district has sentenced three individuals, including the husband, to rigorous life imprisonment in a dowry death case. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on each of the three convicts.
Prosecution Details

According to Rathore, on February 12, 2019, the complainant, Deeparam (son of Andaram, resident of Someshwar village in Shergarh tehsil), submitted a written complaint. He stated that his sister Hawa was married to Dinaram (son of Chetan Ram, resident of Uchpadra village) on June 25, 2018.
Harassment for Dowry
The complainant alleged that dowry articles were given according to the family's financial capacity at the time of marriage. However, after some time, Hawa's husband Dinaram, mother-in-law Chuka Devi, and father-in-law Chetan Ram began mentally and physically harassing her for additional dowry. Hawa informed her family about the harassment, and multiple attempts were made by family members to counsel and settle the matter.
On February 11, 2019, Hawa called her parental home from her in-laws' house and informed them that her husband and in-laws were threatening to kill her for not bringing a motorcycle as dowry. Later that same night, the family received information that Hawa had been assaulted and allegedly poisoned to death.
