The Bhindi Saida police have booked a man for dowry death after a woman died of "poisoning" at Bhagupur Bait village here on Sunday. The deceased, Manjit Kaur (23), hailed from Bhagupur Bait village. Her accused Sonu Singh is yet to be arrested. A case under Section 304-B of IPC has been registered.

The deceased's brother, Gurpreet Singh, a resident of Buta village in Kapurthala, said he got a call from someone in Bhagupur Bait village, informing about the death of his sister on Sunday. “Sonu Singh used to thrash Manjit Kaur over trivial issues.
