Married woman kills self

A married woman committed suicide at her house in south Delhi’s Defence Colony on Friday night. She worked as an event manager.

Her body was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her bedroom, police said.
Police have recovered a suicide note from near the body in which the woman has blamed the husband of inflicting physical torture on her. She decided to take her life because of this, she wrote.

She has also blamed her mother-in-law of mentally harassing her in the suicide note.
Police have arrested Priyanka’s husband Nitin Chawla, 40. Nitin, the owner of several pubs in Delhi and Chandigarh, was present at the house when the suicide was discovered. 

The matter came to the fore when the mother of 26-year-old Priyanka came at her daughter’s house when she didn’t receive her calls.

“When the deceased’s mother reached her daughter’s house, she found the door of her room bolted. Despite constantly knocking, no response came from inside,” said a police officer.

Her mother then informed police. Teams of police and fire brigade reached the house and broke open the door.

“We found the body bent half on knees, with a noose around the neck. We took her to AIIMS where doctors declared her brought dead,” the police officer added.

Police have registered a case of dowry harassment on the complaint of Priyanka’s sister.
The sub divisional magistrate has also initiated investigation.

Prima facie, police have found injury marks on the body, and her left wrist was found slashed.

“It looks like she first tried to kill herself by slashing her wrist before hanging herself,” said a police officer.

According to police, Priyanka and Nitin had married in January this year.
“Nitin had divorced his first wife who lives in Punjabi Bagh in order to wed Priyanka. He has a 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter from his first marriage,” said a relative of Priyanka.

An owner of two pubs in Delhi and five in Chandigarh, Nitin also has several steel factories in the NCR region.

Priyanka hails from Chandigarh, but her parents live in Lajpat Nagar here.
Priyanka was running an event organiser firm with her friend Tehrima Zaaki.

“Priyanka first met Nitin at his pub while she was organising an event for him in April 2015. After that Nitin and Priyanka interacted a few more times and Nitin proposed to marry her,” said a relative.

Priyanka initially refused Nitin’s proposal as he was married.

Nitin first tried to lure her into marriage by showing off his wealth. When she refused, he proposed to divorce his wife.

“After divorcing his wife in December, Nitin married Priyanka,” the relative added.
However, the couple started fighting within weeks of their marriage, the relative said.
