A 25-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide after facing physical and mental harassment over dowry at her matrimonial home in Undri, police said.
The deceased was an IT professional, and she died on September 24 by hanging herself inside the house. Following the complaint filed by the parents of the victim, the accused husband and his mother and father were arrested by the police on the same day.
The accused are identified as Onkar Sanjay Ghisare, 28, Sanjay Mahadev Ghisare, 49, and Rupali Sanjay Ghisare, 42.
According to the complaint, their daughter married the accused man in May this year. Her parents alleged that their daughter was allegedly subjected to physical and mental harassment by her husband, mother-in-law and father-in-law between June 25 and September 24.
