27-year-old techie ends life allegedly over dowry harassment
Last month, a 27-year-old female software professional was found dead at her house in Bengaluru’s Suddaguntepalya. The deceased’s parents filed a complaint with police, stating that their daughter died by suicide after being continuously harassed by her husband's family for dowry.
The deceased, Shilpa, had been married to Praveen for two and a half years. The couple has a one-and-a-half-year-old child. Before marriage, Shilpa had completed her graduation in engineering and was working as a software engineer at Infosys, while Praveen was employed at Oracle. A year after marriage, they resigned from their jobs and started a food business.
According to the complaint, Praveen's family had initially demanded Rs 15 lakh cash, 150 grams of gold jewelry and household items during the wedding. Although these demands were met, Shilpa's family alleged that the harassment continued, with repeated demands for additional money and valuables. Six months ago, the family claimed they were pressured to give Rs 5 lakh to support Praveen's business.
