Hyderabad: Woman kills self, in-laws booked for harassment at Khairatabad

HYDERABAD: A 25-year-old housewife committed suicide after facing alleged dowry harassment by her husband and in-laws at Khairatabad on Sunday.
A dowry death case was registered against the woman’s husband and in-laws.
The victim, Shazia Tarranum, from MS Maqta, Khairatabad, had married Mohammed Omer, 30, in 2017. Four months ago, Shazia went to her parent’s house after facing harassment. Her parents discussed the issue with elders and sent her back. However, the harassment continued for additional dowry. Around 8.30 pm on Sunday, the victim committed suicide by hanging at her husband’s house.
A week after their marriage, police said Omer, her mother-in-law Asia Begum, brothers-in-law Mohd Ghouse and Siddiq, sister-in-law Saira Begum, quarrelled with her over petty issues and dowry. They reportedly would not even give her proper food.
According to cops, she used to inform these issues to her parents over phone calls and visit her parent’s house whenever she could not bear the harassment.
After the victim’s father approached police, and Shazia’s in-laws and husband were booked for dowry death.
