Jibbu Mulla was killed by her husband Javed Mulla and his relatives, the police said.
Javed Mulla is a truck driver. He married Jibbu a few years ago.
The woman’s younger brother M. Allauddin has lodged a complaint with the police saying that Javed Mulla sent Jibbu to her parents with a demand that she bring ₹20,000 in dowry.
