It is alleged that on the fateful day, she has been beaten to death by the petitioner and his family members. The informant has received information and reached the matrimonial home of his daughter to find her dead. It is submitted that there is no eye-witness to the occurrence. Further submission is that although there is no allegation by the prosecution that poison has been administered, such suspicion has been raised by the police. Without waiting for the viscera report, chargesheet has been submitted. The petitioner is in custody since 17.06.2020.
