Industrialist's Daughter-in-Law Dies by Suicide Amid Abuse Claims
27 Nov
Summary
- A 38-year-old housewife died by suicide at her home in Southwest Delhi.
- Police are investigating the death, with no suicide note found.
- Conflicting accounts cite marital strain and alleged abuse versus denial.
A 38-year-old housewife, associated with a prominent industrialist family, was found dead in her Vasant Vihar residence on Tuesday, with police investigating the incident as a suspected suicide. She was discovered unconscious by her husband and later declared deceased at a hospital.
An inquest has been initiated under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. A diary found at the scene contained entries about love and trust but did not assign blame. However, differing narratives have emerged, with the deceased's brother alleging a strained 15-year marriage marked by abuse and infidelity.
These allegations of torture and a husband's affair have been forcefully refuted by the family's legal representative as entirely baseless. The investigation is continuing with statements from the husband and other family members having been recorded.
