A woman ended her life allegedly due to harassment by her husband for dowry at Sankeehalli in Arasikere taluk of Hassan district on Friday.
Abhilasha, daughter of Billaiah, was married to Nagesha of Turuvekere in Tumakuru district two years ago. Her family gave ₹1 lakh in cash and gold as dowry at the time of marriage.
However, Nagesha, his father Chandraiah and other relatives demanded more dowry from Abhilasha’s family. She had returned to her parent’s place after she became pregnant. Recently, Nagesha visited her in Sankeenahalli and demanded ₹3 lakh.
