Shattered Father's Vow: 'Shoot My Daughter's In-Laws, Raze Their Home' After Alleged Dowry Murder in Greater Noida

In a heart-wrenching display of grief and rage, a father in Greater Noida has voiced an unthinkable demand for justice, calling for his daughter's in-laws to be 'shot dead' and their home 'razed to the ground.' This raw, emotional outcry comes in the wake of his daughter Pooja's tragic death, which he alleges was the direct result of relentless dowry harassment.

Prem Singh, shattered by the loss of his 22-year-old daughter, stood before cameras, his voice trembling with a mixture of despair and fury.

Pooja was married just last year, and according to Singh, her marital home became a living hell of demands for dowry. Despite their best efforts to meet these escalating demands, the harassment persisted, ultimately leading to a situation where Pooja either took her own life or was murdered by her husband and his family.

The exact circumstances of her death are still under investigation, but the father is unequivocal: it was dowry that killed his daughter.

His plea for retribution is stark and uncompromising. 'They should be shot dead. Their house should be razed to the ground, and their property confiscated,' Singh declared, his words echoing the depths of a parent's agony when faced with such an injustice.

This isn't just a father's pain; it's a reflection of the collective societal frustration with the enduring menace of dowry violence that continues to plague countless families across India.

Local police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 304B (dowry death) and 498A (dowry harassment) of the Indian Penal Code against Pooja’s husband, his father, and other family members.

However, in a familiar pattern that adds insult to injury for victims' families, all the accused are currently absconding. This absence only intensifies the father's frustration and fuels his demand for immediate and decisive action.

The incident serves as a grim reminder that despite stringent laws, the practice of dowry remains deeply entrenched.

Families like Prem Singh's are not just losing their loved ones; they are battling an archaic, cruel tradition that devastates lives. As the investigation continues, the community watches, hoping that Prem Singh's desperate call for justice will not go unheard, and that the perpetrators of this heinous crime will face the full, unsparing force of the law.
