Hassan, May 14: A day after a 26-year-old married woman allegedly committed suicide by overdosing on unidentified tablets, the victim’s father on Monday accused her husband of driving her to take an extreme step.

MK Ashwini, 26, married her then boyfriend Adithya, a resident of Shankaripuram in Hassan district, three years ago. The couple tied the knot at the sub-registrar’s office. Things turned sour in their marital life once Adithya, a businessman, incurred massive losses. He allegedly started to harass Ashwini, demanding a dowry. Ashwini’s father Krishna Kumar alleged that Adithya’s constant demand for dowry forced her to take her life. In his complaint, Kumar alleged that her daughter had admitted to being under mental duress at her in-laws’ house, following which he had paid her a visit. “On Sunday, I received a call from Ashwini’s husband informing me that she was dead,” Kumar’s complaint read.

An FIR has been registered in connection with the case at Hassan Extension Police Station, and a team has been formed to nab Adithya, and members of his family.
