Police arrest husband, look for absconding in-laws

Following alleged torments meted by husband and in-laws, a newly married girl committed suicide in the city yesterday.

The police have arrested the husband, after they found a note that said that the husband and the
in-laws were torturing her for dowry.

Ninteen-year-old M Nandini had married Mohan G, a cabbie in Mysore, three months ago.

Mohan refused initially, but later he agreed. When she reached Mysore, her husband and in-laws subjected her to mental and physical torture for the bike.

According to the complaint filed by Nandini's father, the couple hadn't even consummate their marriage, as Mohan wanted the bike first.

Unable to bear the torments anymore, Nandini asked her parents to arrange a two-wheeler within a fortnight.

Nandini's father gave Mohan Rs 30,000 and asked for a month's time to arrange for the remaining amount. This irritated Mohan, who subjected Nandini to more torture.

Fed up with the humiliation, she hanged herself. However, before committing suicide, she wrote a letter stating how her husband and in-laws tortured her.

Kyataraju J, assistant PSI, Amrutahalli police station, said, "From the suicide note, it's clear that the girl committed suicide following harassment meted by the husband.

We have arrested Mohan and are looking for his parents who have gone absconding."
