Ambernath, Maharashtra: A 26-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide less than two months after her marriage, with her family accusing her husband and in-laws of harassment, physical abuse, and constant surveillance through CCTV cameras installed inside and outside their home.
The deceased, identified as Vishakha Tilkar, was living with her husband, a doctor, in Ambernath near Mumbai. According to her family, the couple married on April 30, but relations reportedly deteriorated soon after the wedding.
Family members alleged that Vishakha was subjected to repeated harassment over dowry-related demands and was pressured to bring money and jewellery from her parental home. They further claimed that CCTV cameras had been installed throughout the house, allowing her husband to closely monitor her movements and interactions.
According to the allegations, Vishakha was frequently reprimanded and physically assaulted for speaking to neighbours or other individuals. Her relatives stated that just days before her death, she was allegedly beaten after talking to a female neighbour.
The family said Vishakha had informed her mother about the abuse she was facing and that efforts were underway to bring her back home. However, before this could happen, they received the tragic news of her death.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident. Further legal action will depend on the findings of the inquiry and evidence collected during the investigation.
