Dowry death - Proved beyond all reasonable doubts - The statements of the PW-2 and PW-3 are specific as they were eye witnesses. In their statements they specifically stated about the harassment in connection with demand of dowry. Deceased died within seven months of marriage - She also telephonically complained about harassment - The Prosecution thus proved that there was harassment in connection with dowry soon before death of the victim.
