In another case from the Gandhinagar police station area, a 27-year-old woman, Pratibha Bamne, allegedly consumed poison due to harassment by her husband. 

She was admitted to the hospital in serious condition and is currently under treatment, with her condition reported to be stable.

Police said Pratibha got married to Ravi Bamne in 2018, and the couple has two children.
