After the death of her husband, the wife is stumbling in various places for justice

 Chandigarh/Jagraon, (B.S sharma)

In Punjab, cases of harassment of daughters or dowry are often pending in the esteemed courts.  In the nearby village of Sheikh Daulat, a girl named Pooja accused her in-laws of evicting her after the death of her husband.  According to information, Pooja Kaur was married to Jagroop Singh of village Sheikh Daulat.  After marriage a child was born.  Jagroop Singh was often addicted to alcohol.  Due to this Jagroop Singh died a few days ago.  After her death, the in-laws started harassing her.  I picked up my luggage and went to Moga on my own and my in-laws locked my house in my absence.  When I found out, I returned in the evening with my luggage and opened the door at night with the help of Ghalib Kalan, the post in-charge from my in-laws.  Talking to the Chowki in-charge, he said that Pooja Kaur would be given her due rights and her belongings have also been kept inside.
