Mysuru, Mar 12: A woman from the city has committed suicide holding her son-in-law and his parents responsible for her death.case

Rajeshwari, 52, consumed toxic liquid early on Thursday. She died at a hospital later in the day. Quoting her suicide note, police said the woman has accused her son-in-law Ravikumar and his parents -- Govindappa and Gowramma -- responsible for driving her to take the extreme step.

B S Prashanth, inspector of Krishnaraja police station where a case against Ravikumar is registered for abetting suicide and harassment, said Rajeshwari had married off her daughter Sowmyashree to Ravikumar of Algodu village in Srirangapatna taluk a year ago. At the time of the wedding, Ravikumar had allegedly taken dowry. The family looked after Sowmyashree well for the first three-four months, after which they allegedly started harassing her for money so Ravikumar could buy an autorickshaw.

Besides harassing Sowmyashree for trivial reasons, the family kept sending her to her mother's house near Agrahara. Unable to bear the torture, Sowmyashree moved court, which directed Ravikumar to look after his wife at his home.

According to the suicide note, Ravikumar has urged his wife and mother in-law to either pay him money or sign the divorce papers.

Disturbed at the development, Rajeshwari consumed poison early on Thursday. Police, however, claim that the reason for her decision to end her life is not known. "But in her suicide note, she has held the trio responsible for her death," they added.

Raghunandan, son of Rajeshwari, has lodged a complaint against Ravi and his parents who are on the run.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
