A 26-year-old woman named Lakshmi Priya reportedly died by suicide in Bengaluru’s Whitefield area. Her family accused her husband and in-laws of mental and physical harassment over the past three years. The deceased shared her mobile phone password with her younger sister shortly before her death.
Lakshmi Priya was married to Rajesh Aaradhya on May 11, 2023, at Sindoor Choultry in Mysuru. Following the marriage, her husband and in-laws allegedly subjected her to mental and physical harassment. The Whitefield police have registered a case against her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law based on the family’s complaint.
The deceased had given birth to a baby girl and had been staying at her parental home for the past six months. On May 22, she sent her mobile phone password to her younger sister through WhatsApp. Despite attempts to contact her, she did not respond, and her husband later informed the family of her death.
Police are investigating the case and have charged the husband and in-laws with subjecting the woman to mental cruelty and harassment. The investigation aims to determine the circumstances surrounding her death.
This incident occurs amidst ongoing investigations into the Twisha Sharma case, involving the family of a retired judge. Twisha Sharma, a Noida resident, was found dead at her in-laws’ house in Bhopal on May 12, five months after marrying Samarth Singh, an advocate and the son of retired judge Giribala Singh.
