A woman’s death in the BHPV area of Anakapalli has led to the arrest of three people over allegations of dowry harassment, according to a report published by Deccan Chronicle.

The deceased, Srivani, 25, was the daughter of Gudu Sadhu Rao, a resident of the BHPV area. She married Malla Mukunda Vijay in 2022, and the couple have a two-year-old daughter.

 

According to the report, Srivani’s husband, Vijay, mother-in-law Satyavathi and father-in-law Paidi Krishna allegedly harassed her over demands for additional dowry in the days leading up to her death. She was found dead at her residence on Monday night.

Following a complaint, police registered a case against the three accused, arrested them and remanded them to judicial custody. The allegations are subject to the ongoing legal process.

 

The case highlights the continuing concern over dowry-related harassment and the importance of reporting domestic abuse and seeking timely support from the authorities.
