Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A 3-month pregnant woman hanged herself to death over alleged constant physical and mental torture by her in-laws for dowry in Indore on Tuesday.

On looking towards the balcony, he saw Roshni hanging. The family immediately rushed her to MY Hospital, where doctors declared her dead and informed the police.
