Summary
- Woman allegedly harassed for money, flat, and sister-in-law's loan.
- Suicide note and audio recordings found on the deceased's phone.
- Five family members booked for abetment to suicide; one arrested.
In Keshavnagar, Pune, a 33-year-old IT professional was discovered deceased in her flat on September 29, 2026. This discovery followed years of alleged harassment by her husband and in-laws. The harassment reportedly centered on demands for money, a flat to be transferred to her husband's name, and funds to repay her sister-in-law's education loan.
Following the woman's death, her father, aged 74, reported the matter to Mundhwa police. Authorities have since registered a case against five members of the in-laws' family, including her husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, and grandmother-in-law, for alleged abetment to suicide. The sister-in-law has been arrested in Mumbai.
Investigators found a purported suicide note on the woman's cellphone, attributing her death to the alleged harassment and holding her husband and in-laws responsible. Audio recordings of conversations between the deceased and her husband were also discovered and are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation into the abetment to suicide case.
