Bengaluru: Driven by ‘dowry torture, husband’s affair’, woman dies by suicide

Bengaluru: A 28-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide at her Sidedahalli home on Bengaluru’s outskirts on Saturday, reportedly driven by dowry harassment and her husband’s alleged affair.

Her mother’s complaint stated that Poojashree, married to Nandish for three years, had a 10-month-old daughter. Both worked at a private company.

It is alleged that Nandish was in a relationship with another woman. When confronted, he allegedly subjected Poojashree to physical and mental abuse and demanded more dowry.

Family elders tried to mediate on multiple occasions, with Nandish promising to change. However, the harassment is said to have continued.

Based on the complaint, the Bagalgunte police registered a case.
