Kasargod, Jan 19: A recently-wed woman was found hanging at her husband's house in Ajanur here on the evening of Monday January 18. It is alleged that harassment by her in-laws drove her to suicide.
The deceased has been identified as Veena (30), wife of Suresh, a resident of Ravaneshwaram Kalari, Ajanur. She as originally from Kumble.
Sources said that on the night of Sunday January 17, Veena had called her parents and said that her in-laws were harassing her.
On Tuesday evening, Veena's brother Naveen Kumar went to her in-laws' house in Ajanur to bring her back to her parental house, but found the house locked from the outside. He then called his brother-in-law Suresh on his cell phone. When Suresh came to the spot and opened the lock, they found that the door was locked from the inside too. When Veena did not respond to knocks, the door was broken open and she was found hanging inside.
Veena was the daughter of Narayan, a driver by profession in Kumble, and Devi. She got married to Suresh on November 29, 2015.
The police arrived at the spot and registered a case.
The body was sent for autopsy to Pariyaram Medical College Hospital.
