When she couldn't fulfil the demand, they allegedly subjected her to harassment.' The woman's father has filed a police complaint. The complaint states that the woman had earlier filed a dowry harassment complaint in Solapur against her in-laws under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 498. However, the case was withdrawn after both families sought to resolve the matter. The C-summary report in that case was filed just 11 days before her death.

FIR against 16 for organising bullock cart race in village
Pune: The Bharati Vidyapeeth police have registered a case against 16 men for allegedly organising and participating in an illegal bullock cart race on Sunday afternoon at Gujar-Nimbalkarwadi village. According to senior inspector Rahul Khilare, the organisers had used social media to widely publicize the event, appealing people to turn up in large numbers. Acting on this information, a team from the Katraj police chowkey arrived at the scene around 2.25pm just as the race was beginning. Khilare said the personnel identified the organisers and ordered them to stop the race owing to the danger it posed to public safety. "However, they reportedly ignored the directives and continued the event in smaller groups," he said.

The organisers had not taken any safety measures like deploying a veterinarian, an ambulance or installing barricades for controlling the crowd. "In addition, the participants subjected the bullocks to severe cruelty," he said, adding a case relating to endangering life or public safety and disobedience to an order promulgated by a public servant, among other charges of the Bharatiya Nayaya Sanhita and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, has been registered.
