4. Prosecution story in brief is that name of deceased is Arti Bai Yadav. She was resident of village Vatgan. Her marriage was solemnized with Yogendra Yadav in the month of May, 2017. After marriage, the applicant and co-accused Yogendra Yadav used to harass her on the ground of bringing sub-standard articles in dowry and asked to bring better articles in dowry. On account of harassment, the deceased pored kerosene on her body and set herself ablaze and committed suicide.
