Gomathy's parents, who had already raised allegations that her daughter had been constantly harassed for more dowry, wanted immediate arrest of those responsible for her death.

A police source said here today that Gomathi's husband Ganesan who was working as a teacher in a government primary school at Nettapakkam near here, was arrested and remanded.

The CPI (M) secretary, T. Murugan, said there should be detailed investigation and culprits should be punished.
