Overview
- The woman, identified as 33-year-old IT engineer Trishna Rahul Sakpal, died by suicide at her Pune home on September 29, and police recovered a note in which she named her husband and multiple in-laws.
- Pune police registered a First Information Report against five accused after Trishna’s father, Balkrishna Nikam, filed a complaint based on the note and his allegations.
- Nikam told police that Trishna faced repeated pressure since her 2018 marriage to surrender her salary, transfer her parental flat to her mother-in-law, and buy a flat worth Rs 1 crore for her father-in-law.
- The family says Trishna returned to her parents’ home in 2021 because of alleged physical abuse, and her husband later filed a divorce that remains pending in court.
- Reporters note this case follows a similar dowry-harassment suicide in Pune last month, and police say both matters are under active investigation as authorities gather evidence and statements.
