Kerala woman dies day after suicide bid, family alleges abuse by in-laws
THiruvananthapuram A 24-year-old adult female allegedly died by felo-de-se at her married place in Kerala’s Kasaragod territorial dominion, while the deceased’s family alleged prolonged domestic abuse and mental harassment by her husband and mother-in-law over dowry, police said on Sunday.An inspector at the Vidyanagar police station, where the first information report (FIR) was registered based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s brother, told HT that the incident was reported late on Saturday in Panalam, and the husband has been detained and will be arrested soon.“The woman’s family alleged that she was being mentally harassed over dowry and other matters by her husband and mother-in-law. On Saturday, she was physically assaulted by her husband and her phone was snatched away when she tried to contact her family,” the officer said.“Later, the woman went to the neighbour’s house and managed to call her family, who agreed to come. After her brother and other family members arrived, an argument ensued between the two families. In between, the woman quickly went inside and drank a form of cleaning agent which is highly toxic. She drank the liquid in front of her brother and husband,” he added.Though the woman was rushed to a nearby government hospital, her condition became critical. She died early on Sunday.The couple, according to the police, married just over a year ago and have a two-month-old child together.“Based on the brother’s complaint, we have detained the 27-year-old husband. He will be formally arrested. Based on further information, we will question the mother-in-law too,” the officer said.The Vidyanagar police booked the husband on charges of abetment to suicide and cruelty against a woman by her in-laws under the section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
