UP Woman Dies by Suicide After Dowry Harassment
A young woman named Neha Jaiswal, who was only 20 years old, sadly died by hanging herself in her husband's home.
This happened just 56 days after she got married.
Her family says she was being troubled for more money, which is called dowry.
Neha made breakfast for her family in the morning and then went to her room.
Later, she went into another room, locked the door, and hung herself using a scarf.
When her family couldn't get a response from her, they found her body and called the police.
The police are now investigating and have filed a case against her husband and six other family members.
A 20-year-old woman, Neha Jaiswal, was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her husband's house in Dudahi town, Uttar Pradesh.

Neha's family alleges that she was harassed for dowry, leading to her tragic death.
