She also detailed an incident from 2011, when her husband and mother-in-law allegedly dragged her from the first floor to the ground floor and thrashed her.

The woman was found dead inside the dressing area of her bedroom on Tuesday afternoon. Police said she lived with her husband and two children, and domestic staff were also present. On Friday, police registered a case under sections 108 (abetment to suicide) and 3(5) (common inten-

tion) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, based on the complaint of the woman's mother.
