In Bhadohi district, Uttar Pradesh, police have filed charges against four individuals, including the victim's husband, Ram Asare Bind, and his family members, for dowry harassment and assault leading to a miscarriage. The victim, Aarti Devi, reported that her in-laws demanded ₹2 lakh (approximately $2,400 USD) and a motorcycle as dowry, threatening her with violence if she did not comply. After becoming pregnant, Aarti alleged that her husband and in-laws pressured her to terminate the pregnancy and assaulted her when she refused to take medication intended to induce a miscarriage. Following a severe assault in March 2026, Aarti was hospitalized in Varanasi, where doctors confirmed she had suffered a miscarriage. Upon returning to her parental home, she was reportedly threatened by her husband with acid violence if she did not fulfill the dowry demands. The situation escalated when Aarti's sister, Pooja Bind, sought police assistance after receiving threats from the accused.
