A distressing incident has come to light in Patpara Uttar village, under Bibhutipur police station in Samastipur district, where a woman was allegedly evicted from her home with her four children over dowry demands. The victim, Jyoti Kumari, has accused her husband, Rajkant Sahni, and her in-laws of assault and of her husband contracting a second marriage.

Jyoti was married on May 3, 2015, and has four children. She claims that despite providing 4 lakh rupees as dowry from her parental home, her in-laws had been demanding an additional 2 lakh rupees for the past two years. When this demand was not met, her husband, Rajkant, reportedly married another woman from Amsaur village.

Jyoti alleges that on October 7, 2026, her in-laws physically assaulted her and her children before throwing them out of the house. During the incident, her mother-in-law allegedly broke her mobile phone and snatched a gold mangalsutra worth 75,000 rupees. Jyoti Kumari has been seeking justice by approaching the Women's Police Station, SP, DSP, and Bibhutipur Police Station, but so far, no concrete action has been taken. Bibhutipur Station House Officer Sunil Kumar Jha confirmed that an application has been received, and the matter is under investigation.
