Mumbai Woman Dies by Suicide Amidst Allegations of Husband and In-Law Harassment
A young woman named Hajira, who was 23 years old, sadly passed away after taking poison.

They say she faced a lot of mental and physical mistreatment and was asked for money.
Hajira had even gone back to her parents' home for a while because of this.
Her husband's family promised things would get better, and she returned.
However, the problems started again, especially after she became pregnant.
Her brother found out what happened when he received a call saying she was sick and later that she had passed away.
He then told the police, who are now investigating her husband and his parents for causing her so much distress.
