Relationship history
Riya and Dilip were in a love relationship since 2019. Riya had earlier filed a rape case against Dilip, leading to his three-month imprisonment. Later, she helped him grant a bail. After Dilip came out of jail, both of them got court marriage in Jabalpur on 28 September 2019, since then both were living together.
A month ago, Riya went to Indore with Dilip to her brother's place. They left Indore for their village Barka on July 4.
Family alleges conspiracy
Riya's mother alleges that Riya daughter was murdered by her husband Dilip. “First he trapped my daughter in love, then married her, and later began abusing her under the influence of alcohol. When she resisted, he killed her,” she said.
According to Ria's brother, Dilip used to harass Ria regularly and attempted to make Ria isolate from her family while they were in Indore. Furthermore, Dilip's family also insisted him a lot to part ways with Riya. Domestic disputes were quite common between the couple.

The postmortem was conducted by a team of doctors this morning. SDOP Chitrangi along with FSL officials are investigating the case at the spot.
