Family Alleges Harassment, Abuse

"We found out about all this last night, between 9:30 and 10:00 PM. When we called the police station, we learned that my sister had met with an accident or some sort of mishap. When we arrived here, we were made to wait for about an hour. We were told she was in the hospital, and we had to wait for a call. Later, we were informed that she was no more," he said. Alleging that his sister had faced abuse, Amay Sutar said, "She had been suffering for a long time; her husband used to blame her excessively. He would torture her, harbour extreme suspicions, and even physically abuse her. When she told us, we took action, just 2-3 days before this incident occurred."
