Banker held for wife’s dowry death

NAVI MUMBAI: The Kalamboli police on Tuesday arrested the manager of a private bank in Navi Mumbai following the death of his wife, Madhu Yadav (28), at their Khanda Colony home. Samit Kumar Yadav’s father Akhilesh (62) and mother Sunita have also been arrested. The trio has been booked for dowry harassment and murder under the sections 498A, 304B, 302 and 34 of the IPC.
Madhu and Samit (32) tied the knot in May last year after their families arranged the match. Madhu used to work as an assistant manager with a media house in Mumbai. Samit regularly called up Madhu’s office to enquire about her whereabouts and salary, said the police.
On Monday night, Samit and his parents had a bitter fight with Madhu, following which she was taken to a hospital with injuries. She later died. A post-mortem report revealed strangulation marks on Madhu’s neck.
