A troubling dowry case has surfaced in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi, where a woman has accused her husband and in-laws of demanding a car and selling her jewellery, according to local police.

The allegations come from Chandni, 25, who married Kamlesh from Banjari village a decade ago. Chandni claims that the dowry demands began shortly after their wedding, despite already providing a motorcycle.

An official FIR has been filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Act and Dowry Prohibition Act. While police continue their search for the accused, the investigation progresses based on Chandni's statement.
