Nashik: A heart-wrenching incident has come to light from Pimpalgaon Dhabhali village in Chandwad taluka, where a 22-year-old married woman allegedly ended her life on Saturday, Nov 8, by hanging herself, reportedly due to continuous harassment from her in-laws. The deceased has been identified as Mohini Chandrakant Ahire.

After the shocking incident, Mohini’s maternal relatives rushed to her in-laws’ house to question them, sparking a heated confrontation. In a powerful display of anger and grief, the family performed her last rites right in front of her in-laws’ house.

According to reports, Mohini had been facing persistent mental torture from her in-laws. She was repeatedly pressured to bring money, a mobile phone, or a vehicle from her parental home.
