A 27-year-old married woman was found hanging at her in-laws' place in a village under the Campierganj police station area of this district, police on Wednesday said.
A case has been lodged in connection with the incident and further investigation is on, they said.
"One Jyoti Devi was found hanging at her in-laws place on Monday night. We registered a case regarding the matter against the in-laws on Tuesday night," Station House Officer (SHO) Rajkumar Arora said.

Based on the complaint received from the victim's mother, the police have lodged an FIR of death due to dowry against her husband and three other in-laws.
