An FIR for murder will soon be registered at Madhuban Bapudham police station,” said Abhay Rajendra Daga, ACP of Kavi Nagar circle. Four days before the incident, her brother was supposed to visit her, but she asked him not to come after another incident of violence,” said Sonu Singh, Renu’s maternal uncle. “He said he had severely beaten his wife and asked us to come to Ghaziabad and take her. Police said the husband and his family are absconding and have fled after locking the house.
Her in-laws later took her to a hospital in Ghaziabad, where she died during treatment on Sunday evening. An autopsy was ordered and conducted on Monday. The woman’s family, who came from their native place in Aligarh, submitted a complaint on Monday.
Her husband works at a private firm and allegedly did not provide enough money for household expenses. Renu had been married for around 14 years and had two minor sons, aged 10 and 12, according to the woman’s family.
Because of a delay in paying their children’s school fees for the past 4-5 months, they said the latest dispute on Sunday happened.
The family said the couple frequently fought over financial issues and that the husband had allegedly subjected Renu to domestic violence.
