Dowry harassment claims woman’s life

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: A newly married woman, D. Lalitha, was found dead under suspicious circumstances at her house in old Safilguda on Sunday.

While Lalitha’s family members maintained that her husband, Goverdhan, murdered her, the police said “it appeared to be a suicide as the body was found hanging from the ceiling.”

Police said the 24-year-old Lalitha was married to Goverdhan three months ago. Her parents deposited Rs.8 lakh on her name in the bank and gave gold jewellery and other valuables towards dowry.

However, Goverdhan allegedly started torturing her for the past few weeks for more dowry. The family members alleged that Goverdhan murdered Lalitha and hung the body from the ceiling to make it appear like a suicide.
