Deepika Nagar, a 24-year-old woman, died after reportedly falling from the third-floor terrace in Greater Noida, just eighteen months after her marriage. The incident was reported to police as a suicide but her family claimed she was mentally and physically harassed over alleged dowry demands and was 'murdered'. According to a report in Times of India, every time Deepika came home for a festival, she was expected to bring jewellery for her mother-in-law, three sisters-in-law, and any other relatives, if there was a special request. She bought an anklet worth Rs 30,000 from a local jeweller to meet one such demand from her mother-in-law last month.
