The Jammu and Kashmir High Court recently declined bail to an Indian army official who has been accused of meting out dowry-related harassment to his wife. It is reported that the army officer's wife died by suicide about six months after their marriage. The high court bench of Justice Javed Iqbal Wani denied the accused army Major bail after stating that there was every likelihood that he may intimidate the witnesses given his position in the army. The case concerns an army officer, Deepak Tetarwal, a doctor who was serving as a Major in the Indian army and who had married another doctor, identified as Dr Kavita, in April 2023. However, six months after the wedding, Dr Kavita died an unnatural death in October 2023. Post this, a case was filed over her death against Tetarwal and his parents, citing charges under Sections 498-A (marital cruelty), 304-B (dowry death), and 109 (abetment) of the Indian Penal Code. Jammu and Kashmir: Trainee Cop Dies of Bullet Wound at Training Centre in Ganderbal.
