DOWRY VICTIM POLYTECHNIC STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE.

A Sirsa polytechnic College student named Rimpy Jangra D/o Baljit Singh a resident of village Jamavdi (Hansi) who was allegedly being tortured by her husband for dowry committed suicide at 7.20 am today by jumping before a running train near the local Chattargarh Patti railway crossing. Immediately on getting information the Sub Inspector GRP Ram Chander rushed to the spot and started investigations. After being informed her kin along with the Ex-Sarpanch of their village Hans Raj also arrived and on the basis of a complaint filed by Hans Raj a case has been registered against the husband of the deceased. Victims kin told that she was married to one Manjit Singh son of Ranjit Singh a resident of village Raipur (Hisar) on 9.2.2010 and that since her marriage, she was tortured by her husband (also a student) for more and more money under the pretext that he was unable to carry on his studies due to financial constraints. They also alleged that on the directions of a Panchayat which was convened about a couple of months ago, victims parents paid an amount of Rs50,000/- to her husband to parch up the matter, but the avaricious husband still continued to badger her with his demands of more and more money. They alleged that the victim intimated her parents last evening that her husband once again threatened her with dire consequences in case her parents failed to pay more money to him and her parents asked her to come back to her village. In the morning she had purchased a railway ticket to come to Hansi but her husband was constantly threatening her on her mobile phone and ultimately unable to bear the mental torture she committed suicide.

Some youth who were playing Cricket near the site of the incident told that she was moving along the railway track while constantly keeping her mobile glued to her ears. The GRP after registration of a criminal case against her husband have started the investigations and sent her body for a post mortem in the local Civil Hospital.
