Chandigarh: Four people, including a woman, were booked on Friday in a case of dowry death in Punjab`s Zirakpur town, police said.
Gagandeep Kaur, 26, who was recently married to Kulwant Singh, was found dead at her in-law`s house at Himmatgarh Dhakola village near Zirakpur, 10 km from state capital Chandigarh, late on Thursday.
"We had sent the body for post-mortem. The report said Gagandeep died of strangulation," police officer Yogi Raj said.

The accused who have been booked for dowry death are the victim`s husband, mother-in-law, sister-in-law`s husband and another relative.
