Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has assured the family of a 33-year-old woman found dead in her marital home in Bhopal of the government's full support. He announced plans to request a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case. The woman, originally from Noida, was discovered dead on May 12, just five months after marrying Samarth Singh, a local advocate. Her family claims she suffered mental harassment and abuse related to dowry demands from her husband and in-laws. They have filed a petition in a local court seeking a second post-mortem examination, citing concerns about flaws in the initial investigation and the late registration of the FIR, which occurred three days after her death. The Bhopal Police have acknowledged the request for a second autopsy, but the final decision rests with the court. Additionally, the family fears that connections within the in-laws' family could influence the outcome of the second autopsy.
