Woman takes her own life

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
NEW DELHI, MARCH 10: A 24-year-old woman, who was allegedly tortured by her husband for dowry, committed suicide at her Chandni Chowk house on Tuesday. Rekha got married to Kamal Singh, alias Jugnu, on December 9, last year. According to the police, she was being harassed for dowry by her husband.

Kamal had allegedly sent her back to her parents home in Andrews Ganj 10 days ago, to reportedly get Rs 10,000 from them. When Kamal visited her later, she apparently told him that her parents were only able to arrange Rs 7,000. When Rekha went back to her husband's house, the harassment continued. The police add that when things reached a flash point, she hanged herself on Tuesday. Rekha's parents registered a complaint. The police later arrested Kamal and his elder brother Pramod Kumar. The police are now investigating the role played by other members of the family.
