Jaipur, October 08: A city-based doctor told the police that her husband had pushed her from the terrace after forcing her to write a suicide note. A dowry harassment case has been registered against the accused husband, Dr Jayesh Sharma, and his parents by father of Dr Swati Sharma, 25, on Thursday evening. The statement of the victim was recorded on Friday.
“She told us that her in-laws and husband forced her to write a suicide note and later pushed her from the terrace. The accused have, however, been absconding since the incident,” said a police officer at Mahesh Nagar police station.
She was admitted at a private hospital by her in-laws on Monday morning. It was on Thursday that she regained consciousness and complained of the incident to her father.
It had been less than five months that the victim was married to Jayesh, 28, a second-year student of post graduation at Lala Lajpat Rai Medical College, Meerut. It was a grand marriage ceremony that now regrets the father of the girl. “We had gone beyond our limits to arrange a car and considerable amount of gold. It, however, only further inflamed the greed of her in-laws,” said Swati’s father, Ramesh Sharma.
Sharma said that he had spent much of his savings over his daughter’s marriage. “There has been ever increasing demands from their side and now they were demanding money for establishing a hospital in the city,” he added. After being denied the money, her in-laws threatened to expel her from the house and Jayesh was called from Meerut on Sunday.
