The victim, identified as 35-year-old Meena Kashyap, was beaten last week after her husband's family out she had made a previous violence complaint in April..

According to reports, the victim, from Patiala, Punjab, gave birth to a girl whom her husband's family refused to accept and a number of beatings followed.

The pair were also involved in a dispute over 700,000 rupees (£8,300) that was given by the bride's parents to her new husband's family at their wedding.

The victim's father told local news outlets:

'We had complained about the issue last year itself but nothing was being done regarding that. 

'They have been married for the past two years now and have a girl child. Their family asked for 700,000 rupees for dowry.'

Charges are being being brought against her husband Daljit Singh, his brother Kamaljeet and friend known as Gaurav for a number of crimes such as 'trespassing' and for 'voluntarily causing hurt'.
