BBC News - India woman 'held captive for three years over dowry' rescued: "Police in India have rescued a 25-year-old woman from her husband's home after her family alleged she was held captive and tortured for three years for failing to pay enough dowry.
Gunja Devi was dressed in tattered clothes and looked very scared, the officer who rescued her told BBC Hindi.
