Woman Allegedly Jumps from High-Rise in Ghaziabad Due to Dowry Harassment, Say Police

The woman who was found deceased has been identified as Aarti, according to police. The Nand Gram police have confirmed that the woman’s body was sent for postmortem. Aarti’s husband, Mayank Tyagi, has been arrested by the police.

Aarti’s father, Rajeev Tyagi, has filed a complaint accusing Mayank, his father Vinod, and mother Sadhna of subjecting Aarti to severe dowry-related torture. Rajeev Tyagi alleged that Aarti’s marriage to Mayank included persistent demands for additional dowry beyond what was already given. He claimed that Aarti had expressed her suffering through personal communications and a handwritten diary recovered from her belongings, which contained details of her grievances and distress.

The police are conducting an investigation to determine whether Aarti’s death was a result of suicide or if she was forcibly thrown from the building by her husband and in-laws, according to SHO Dharm Pal Singh of the Nand Gram police station. They are looking into the exact circumstances surrounding her death. *(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.
