A 30-year-old woman, who was believed to have been murdered three years ago by her husband, has been found alive, police have said.
The woman's husband Khalid, who was arrested and sent to jail for killing his wife for dowry, was out on bail and went to a local shrine where he noticed that his wife Mussarat Begum was begging and informed the matter to the police.
Mussarat had gone missing three years ago after which her family had alleged that she was killed by her husband for dowry. Khalid, a resident of Deoband area of the district, was subsequently arrested and sent to jail.
Officials of the Civil Lines Police Station, which had lodged the case against Khalid, said they were investigating the new development in the case.
