Aakriti’s family alleged that she has been was murdered. They accused her husband and in-laws of dowry harassment and physical abuse.
The mystery death of a 28-year-old newlywed woman in South Delhi’s Lodhi Colony has sparked allegations of dowry harassment and murder by her family. This is the third such case to make headlines within the last couple of months. The deaths of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma in Bhopal and 22-year-old Deepika Nagar in Greater Noida, coming on the heels of each other — had sparked national outrage.
While police say they are examining all possible angles, Akriti Sutar’s family has insisted that she has been murdered and there is no question of suicide, as her husband’s family has suggested.
Last evening, Akriti, a resident of Pushp Vihar, was found critically injured after an alleged fall from the third floor of the NDMC Flats at Palika Kunj in Delhi’s Lodhi Colony. The place was around 10 km from her marital home and it is not yet known why she had gone there.
