Reena Tanwar was married to Mithun Tanwar five years back. She has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter and was four months pregnant with her second child.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman was murdered, her hands and legs chopped off and the mutilated body set on fire in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district yesterday. Reena Tanwar's family has alleged that her husband Mithun and in-laws had been torturing her for dowry.
The incident took place at Tandi Khurd village in Kalipeeth police station area. Reena's family has said a villager informed them yesterday that she had been murdered. When her father Ramprasad Tanwar reached Tandi Khurd with cops, they found that her in-laws had fled, leaving behind her burning pyre.
The family extinguished the flames and retrieved her half-burnt body that was then wrapped in cloth and sent for autopsy.
