The deceased was identified as Khadija Akhter, 19, wife of Ahadat Kazi of the village. Family sources said Ahadat, son of Moslem Kazi, married Khadija, daughter of Babul Bepari of the same village two months ago. Police said Ahadat used to torture Khadija to bring Tk 20,000 as dowry from her parents. But her poor father failed to meet the dowry demand. On Saturday night, Ahadat picked up a quarrel with Khadija over the issue and at one stage he strangled her. Ahadat and his family members went into hiding soon after the incident.
