“We saw deep rope mark around her neck and her body had turned blue. They have killed our daughter for dowry. Our daughter had earlier complained us about their torture. Somehow, we were able to send her to the in-law’s house by giving some solace but that turned out to be a great mistake by us,” she lamented.
