Claims Of Harassment
Sakkubai’s mother has alleged that her daughter faced both physical and mental harassment. Nagappa works in the local panchayat office, the family said.
“For a long time, my daughter endured all the suffering. Respecting elders, we kept sending her back,” her mother said in grief.
The family also claimed that Sakkubai faced harassment from her mother-in-law. They said she was burdened with continuous household work and criticised over cooking and daily chores.
Her mother said they would leave for work at 6 am and return at 6 pm, while their daughter suffered at her marital home.
Village Elders Tried To Mediate
Village elders had stepped in several times to settle the disputes between the couple. The elders had suggested giving formal assurances, but the problems did not end.
Hoping that their daughter would have a stable life because her husband had a job, her parents advised her to continue the marriage.

The couple reportedly had four children. Two of them have died earlier, while two are currently living at home.
The family has now demanded a full investigation into the circumstances of Sakkubai’s death. Police are expected to examine the allegations and take action based on the findings.
