"The woman was pregnant and not being taken care of by her husband and in-laws. They were instead harassing her for dowry," a police official said, citing a complaint by the woman's cousin.
According to the complaint, Ms Madhu's family got a phone call on February 18 from her in-laws saying that she had fallen ill. After some time, they were informed that Ms Madhu was being taken to a hospital in New Delhi, the police said.
"When the family reached the hospital, they were told by the doctors that she was dead," the official said.
The woman's family filed a complaint against her husband, his brother and sister and an FIR was lodged under IPC sections 498A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 304B (dowry death) and the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the official said.
The man was produced before a court on Thursday, which remanded him to judicial custody, the police said.
