An informant for the Mumbai Police, Jamshed Munir Khan, has been facing death threats after his daughter’s husband was arrested by the UP police in a dowry-related suicide case. However, Khan is struggling to register an FIR or get help to protect himself and his family from his daughter’s 
in-laws.

Khan resides in Indira Nagar in Govandi. His daughter, Jasmine Bano Ali, 24, died by suicide a month ago in Uttar Pradesh (UP) after she was unable to fulfil her husband’s demand for a car as dowry. The Mandhata police in UP registered an FIR against Jasmine’s husband, Farman Ali, in-laws Abbas Ali and Avran Nisha, and brothers-in-law Ishrat Ali and Arman Ali. While Farman Ali was arrested for abetment of suicide, the rest of the family escaped to Mumbai and are allegedly pressuring Khan’s family to withdraw the FIR.
