Have committed and hard work, dedication, grit, and perseverance become irrelevant or then has today's young man found a much easier and efficacious way of meeting his incessant hunger for material wealth that is by making exorbitant unreasonable dowry demands from the parents of his supposedly better half.........
Socially sanctioned (almost all sections of our so called "civilised" society sanction it by one name or the other) evil of dowry claimed it's latest three victims with a 30 year old man (Amit Kumar) strangling his 28 year old wife and two daughters (including an infant) to death at his Noida Phase-II residence on Monday morning.........
What was their crime?????they failed to meet; or more precisely the 28 year old woman's parents failed to meet Amit Kumar and his parent's incessant and relentless demands for a swanking new car as well as a few lakhs in cash........
Amit Kumar who is gainfully employed as a mid level executive in a private firm strangled his lawfully wedded wife of three years Shalu (28) and two daughters Tanu (18 months) and Manu (6 months) to death in a seemingly cold blooded, meticulously planned and heinous manner early Monday morning as Shalu's parents had failed to meet the dowry demands of Amit and his family for the last three and a bit years.......
According to shocked and dismayed neighbours who informed the local police that Shalu as well as her two daughters seemed to be lying in an unconscious state on the floor of their bedroom at around 9 am on Monday morning; Amit and his parents used to torture Shalu on a daily basis and constantly berate her for having borne two daughters and thereby added to their financial burdens.........
Police personnel rushed to the spot and shifted Shalu and her two daughters to a nearby private hospital where they were declared brought dead on arrival by the doctors who attended on them; a post mortem that was carried out on the hapless trio later on the same day attributed their premature and untimely deaths to strangulation..........
Subsequent questioning of the neighbours as well as Shalu's family members threw up or shed light on the fact that Shalu was being constantly harangued for increased dowry by Amit and his parents and the neighbours informed the police about Shalu and her two daughters as they found lying absolutely still on the floor of their bedroom while Amit and his parents were away.........
The senior investigating officer then tried his level best to establish contact with both Amit as well as his parents on their respective cell phones but his concerted efforts came to naught as their cell phones were constantly switched off, a few of Amit's family members have since been taken into custody for questioning but Amit and his parents still continue to elude their pursuers.........
Cases of murder, physical torture, harassment and so on and so forth have been booked against Amit and his parents at the Noida sector-II police station and a massive manhunt has been launched in order to apprehend them at the earliest..........
Which brings us back to the question whether a swanking new car and a few lakh rupees are more valuable than three precious lives that were yet to blossom and experience life in all it's resplendent colours.........
