KOLKATA: The body of a 20-year-old pregnant woman was found hanging at her house in south Kolkata’s Tollygunge area, police said on Friday.
Her husband and mother-in-law were arrested after a note was found from the house, they said.
The woman, who was two-month pregnant, allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling using a ‘gamcha’ (towel) on Thursday night, police said.
“The note, which was recovered, stated that the mother-in-law tortured her, demanding dowry and the situation has been worsening for her, forcing her to take her life,” a police officer said.
“We have arrested the husband and the mother-in-law and initiated a probe into the matter,” he said.
