Her one-and-a-half year-old daughter has also been hospitalised.

The woman consumed poison after failing to endure torture of her husband, police say.

However, her father Mozlen Haque alleged she was killed before pouring poison in her mouth.

Tungiparha Police Station OC Moniruzzaman said Beauty Begum and her daughter Ranu were admitted to the Gopalganj General Hospital on Monday evening.

Beauty died there later.

Lichu Sheikh, the victim’s husband, used to torture Beauty for dowry since their marriage three years ago, said the OC quoting her family members.
