Dowry claims two lives

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Two women committed suicide in separate incidents in the city since Friday following alleged dowry harassment.

A 22-year-old woman ended her life by consuming poison at her residence at Masjidpur in Hayathnagar on Saturday. K. Sunitha was married to Rami Reddy three years ago. At the time of marriage, Sunitha’s parents gave Rs.3lakh in cash and other valuables as dowry. But Reddy was allegedly harassing her demanding additional dowry. Unable to bear his torture, she killed herself when the family members were away from the house, according to the police.

In a similar incident, Ch. Manga (20) committed suicide by setting herself ablaze at her house at New Bowenpally on Friday. Her husband Raju was allegedly harassing her for the last few months demanding more dowry, police said.
