A woman decamped with Rs 1.5 lakh cash and some jewellery from her in-law's house in Bilaspur area on the second day of her marriage, police said on Monday.

One of Kumar's acquaintances Manish introduced him to Manju who claimed that she knew a perfect match for his son and introduced Mr Kumar to a man, police said.

Manju and his accomplice said that the girl's family comes from a poor background and they do not have money. To this, Kumar said that his family don't want dowry, the complainant said.

"After the girl, Preeti, was liked by my family, I gave Rs 1 lakh and some clothes to her family. On July 26, Manju and his accomplice along with Preeti reached Jhajjar court. After the court marriage, I returned to my house with my new daughter-in-law. There was a celebration at my house till late night but in the morning my son went to work while Preeti went missing," Kumar said.
