Torture for Dowry and giving birth to girl child : Young lady in Maharashtra commits suicide

Thane: A young lady in Maharashtra allegedly committed suicide. The reason for her suicide was unbearable torture from her husband and family.

Her parents were informed  about the tortures that she was undergoing, said the local police.

On last Saturday, Surekha’s in-laws called up her parents and told them that she was missing. Later that night, her body was found in a well, police said.
