A pregnant housewife was killed yesterday allegedly by her husband and his family members for dowry at village Sidhakhali under Singra upazila. Police and villagers said, Uzzal Pramanik and his family members used to torture Tithi Rani Sarker,20, to bring money as dowry from her father. As Tithi refused again yesterday, Uzzal and his mother Jogmaya Devi allegedly beat her up and pushed poison into her mouth. Locals rescued Tithi in a critical condition but she died on way to the hospital. Tithi's father Sudarshan went to file a murder case with Singra Police Station but police refused to record it, locals said.
