Woman dies by suicide, harassment suspected

According to sub-inspector Srinivas, the deceased has been identified as Siddeshwari, 21, who was married to one Praveen, a private employee, six months ago.

When her husband, Praveen, returned from work and found the door latched from inside, he made phone calls to her but that were left unanswered, the police said on Wednesday.

On breaking the door open, Praveen went inside and found his wife dead and immediately informed the police, who rushed to the spot.

Further, the deceased’s body was shifted to the Gandhi mortuary for postmortem examination. A case was registered.

While reports say that constant harassment by husband and in-laws triggered the suicide, police has not confirmed this yet. Further probe is on.
