JAMMU, Nov 27: The death of a 30-year-old woman under mysterious circumstances at her in-laws’ house in Paloura has sparked outrage among her family and relatives, who alleged that she was murdered.
The deceased, identified as Anamika, was attending her younger sister’s wedding in Badyalechak when her husband Dharamveer Singh suddenly arrived, citing his mother’s critical illness, and took her back to his house. However, within two hours, the family received a call from Anamika’s in-laws informing her that she had committed suicide.
Family members expressed disbelief at the suicide claims, questioning how she could take such a step while happily attending her sister’s wedding celebrations. “We rushed to her in-laws’ house but no one was there. They have already taken her to hospital,” the relative said, further adding that the circumstances seemed highly suspicious.
Her in-laws claimed that Anamika had hanged herself, but her family strongly suspected the crime, accusing them of murdering her. Angered by the incident, her relatives staged a massive protest at Paloura Chowk, blocking traffic for several hours and demanding justice. Protesters called for an impartial investigation and the immediate arrest of those responsible for her death.
Inspector Pawan Dogra, SHO Janipur, stated that the medical board conducted the postmortem and the body was handed over to the family. “We documented the crime scene using video and photography. The investigation is ongoing and the deceased’s husband has been detained for questioning,” he said.
As the case unfolds, the family continues to demand a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind Anamika’s death. Authorities are urging patience as forensic and investigative results shed light on this tragic incident.
