According to family members, Neha had married a Faridabad resident some time ago. They said the marriage was initially normal but disputes later developed between the couple. Her family alleged that she was subjected to continuous harassment and had informed them about it on several occasions.
The family said they were informed of Neha's death on the day of the incident. When they reached the location, they found the circumstances surrounding her death suspicious. They alleged that she was first strangled and then her head was submerged in water. Describing the incident as a premeditated murder, the family has demanded strict action against those responsible.
Neha was six months pregnant at the time of her death. Her family said they had been preparing to welcome a new member into the family before receiving news of her death.
After receiving information about the incident, local police reached the spot, took the body into custody and sent it for post-mortem examination. Police officials said the actual cause of death would be determined on the basis of the post-mortem report and forensic examination. Statements from both families are also being recorded.
Police said every aspect of the allegations made by the deceased's family is being investigated. They stated that if the investigation establishes the murder allegations, strict legal action will be taken against the accused. Investigators are currently collecting evidence and the inquiry is ongoing.
The incident has left Neha's family in Muzaffarpur in mourning. Relatives and local residents have also demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible and strict punishment. The family said it expects a fair investigation and justice.
Police are continuing the investigation based on the post-mortem report, forensic evidence and other material evidence.
