Torture cry in homemaker’s suicide Complaint filed against husband’s family; alleged delay in probe prompts cops to shift case
The parents of a young woman has alleged that their daughter was “compelled to commit suicide” because of “inhuman torture” at her in-laws’ home.
Rashika Jain, 25, suffered critical injuries, possibly from a fall from the third-floor terrace of her in-laws’ home in Alipore on February 16, and died in hospital.
She got married to industrialist Kushal Agarwal barely a year ago, on February 9, 2020, in an opulent ceremony in Jodhpur.
Rashika’s family has alleged an initial delay in the police probe at the local level, after which the case was shifted to the women’s grievance cell of the detective department at Lalbazar.
