Dowry harassment: 28-year-old woman in Telangana allegedly commits suicide after stifling children
Hyderabad: A 28-year-old woman is suspected to have hanged herself to death after strangulating her two young children, including a 10-month-old son, at the woman’s in-laws’ house Gollagudem village near Bibinagar on Monday night.
The deceased are identified as Aishwarya, who had married Mahesh Yadav, a railway track maintenance worker in Gollagudem in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, four years ago, and their children, two-year-old Janaki and 10-month-old son Pandu.
A police case has been registered, but no arrest has been made yet.
According to a report by Times of India, the death was allegedly the outcome of dowry harassment, although B Ravindar, Bhuvanagiri Deputy Superintendent of Police, has said that it is yet to be ascertained if the children were strangulated by their mother.
Aishwarya’s family has said that, following compatibility issues with Mahesh allegedly due to dowry harassment, Aishwarya, along with her children, had returned to her parents’ home in Vemulakonda one-and-a-half years ago. The couple started living together again once a round of intervention by seniors.
On Monday evening, after Aishwarya’s relatives dropped her and the children to Yadav’s house, her husband left for work at night. On Tuesday morning, however, as neither Aishwarya nor the children came out of the bedroom, her mother-in-law Sathyamma forced open the bedroom door, only to find her daughter-in-law and grandchildren lying dead.
A death note was found in the bedroom, with Aishwarya accusing her husband and his parents of harassing her for dowry and thereby forcing her to take the extreme step.
Aishwarya’s father Yadaiah, who filed a police complaint, has said that he had given Yadav and his family Rs 30 lakh during their marriage, in spite of which, his daughter was harassed for more money.
The bodies of Aishwarya and her children were handed over to her relatives after completion of the post-mortem.
