According to the reports, she blamed Pankaj and Anuj who are her brothers-in-law for pushing her to kill herself.
The now-gone woman’s letter reads: “Ambuj and Pankaj, who are connected with the ruling party, beat me up as I belong to a poor family. My mother died in my childhood and my father is an alcoholic. They threatened to kill me if I narrated my plight to anyone.”
She further told that she was only 16-years-old when she got married and she was tortured by her relatives, repeatedly since then. However, her hands were tied as she couldn’t tell anyone in the terror that if she does that then her husband would abandon her.
Police said that the initial inquiries itself revealed that the woman died by suicide. The police added that there was some family dispute and her brothers-in-laws used to pass sarcastic comments.
Matters like such are always in the air but a call of action has never been taken to prevent such terrific things from happening. Hopefully, things like these end and people try taking the initiative to prevent as well as rely on someone to get off the same and not take the extreme step of suicide.
