Dowry Dispute and Suicide in Ludhiana
A young man named Sunil Kumar from Ludhiana died by suicide.
His ex-wife, Kirandeep Kaur, who now lives in the UK, made a video saying his family pressured her for dowry and made him unhappy.
His family blames her for his death, saying she stopped talking to him after moving to the UK.
The police have filed a case against her and her family.
Both sides have different stories about when they got married and what happened.
It's a sad situation with both sides blaming each other.
Sunil Kumar, 24, died by suicide in Ludhiana, with his ex-wife Kirandeep Kaur alleging dowry harassment and psychological pressure from his family.
Kaur's family and her current husband, Gurpreet Singh, have been booked by police for abetment of suicide, fraud, and conspiracy.
Kumar's family alleges Kaur severed all communication after moving to the UK, worsening his mental health.
Kaur disputes the marriage date, claiming they married in 2021, not 2019 as alleged by the family.
Kumar sold property worth Rs 11 lakh to finance Kaur's move to England, and his family alleges they were misled into signing divorce papers.
