Dowry harassment: Woman dies of forced starvation

Thiruvananthapuram | Saturday | 30th March, 2019

Summary:

The postmortem report issued from the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital said Thushara had suffered severe weight loss and weighed only 20kg. Even after she delivered her second child the relatives were not allowed to meet her. As her parents could not pay it, Thushara was not allowed to leave the house and she was not allowed to meet her relatives or neighbours. But the inquest and postmortem shed light on the sufferings she had undergone in the past two years. Though her husband Chandulal (30) was taken into custody for interrogation over complaints from her relatives, he was later let off by the police..
