    Summary The Jharkhand High Court rejected the bail petition of Lakhan Mahto and Manju Devi, who are in custody since November 2025 on charges of dowry demand (₹5,00,000 and a motorcycle) and causing the death of the bride within six months of marriage through poisoning and assault. The court found the allegations serious enough to warrant continued custody, noting the victim died in her matrimonial home shortly after marriage. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
