Newlywed Woman Hangs Self After Being Denied Visit to Parents on Raksha Bandhan In MP’s Datia

Datia (Madhya Pradesh): A newly married woman allegedly ended her life by hanging herself after her husband refused to let her visit her parental home on the day of Raksha Bandhan, as reported by police.

According to information, the incident took place in Dohar village under Indergarh police station limits. Police have registered a case and started further investigation.

The deceased was identified as Mamta and was married around 13 months ago to Surendra, a resident of Dohar. 

Her brother, Kamal Kishore Jatav and a resident of Papredu in Shivpuri district, said that about ₹5 lakh was given as dowry at the time of marriage. 

He alleged that Mamta’s in-laws did not allow her to visit her parents on Raksha Bandhan, which left her mentally distressed.

Kamal Kishore said that on Saturday evening, Mamta called home expressing her wish to visit. Later that night, the family received news that she had hanged herself in her room. The door was locked from inside and had to be broken to recover the body.

He has accused her in-laws of dowry harassment and mental torture. 

Station House Officer Vaibhav Gupta said the matter is under investigation and all allegations will be thoroughly examined. Police are looking into all possible angles of the case.
