A 27-year-old woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Greater Noida’s Migsun Twiinz Society, Eta-2, under the jurisdiction of Surajpur police station. While initial reports suggest suicide, her family alleges she was killed due to ongoing dowry demands.
According to police sources, the victim, Lakshmi, originally from Bulandshahr, was married to Saurabh Rana, a resident of Migsun Twiinz Society. Her family alleges that after a brief peaceful period, persistent demands for money and a Baleno car started surfacing from her in-laws.
Despite partially fulfilling the demands, the family continued to harass their daughter-in-law.
Lakshmi had reportedly told her parents about threats to her life. During a recent visit to her maternal home, she shared details of the harassment. Her family even attempted reconciliation and returned her to her marital home.
On Thursday, when her parents were unable to reach her via phone, they rushed to her home and found the door locked. They later discovered she had been taken to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.
The Surajpur Police registered a case based on the family’s complaint against her husband, in-laws, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and another relative. Police confirmed they have taken her husband into custody for questioning and are conducting a thorough investigation.
According to the Gautam Budh Nagar Media Cell, police along with a forensic unit inspected the scene. Lakshmi’s body has been sent for post-mortem, and preliminary findings point to domestic discord. Further legal proceedings are underway.
