When she returned, the mother-in-law saw Lalitha hanging from the fan in the bedroom. The victim didn't leave behind any suicide note and police registered a case of unnatural death.

On Sunday morning, Lalitha's brother, Sridhar Bhatt, filed a complaint with Kumaraswamy Layout police, saying his sister was a victim of domestic violence.

He alleged that Lalitha's inlaws had beaten her up and tied her to the fan. Police said they are awaiting the postmortem report and will then proceed with investigation.
