On Monday, 27-year-old Lalita was found hanging at her home in Nangloi  area of Delhi. She had married Chillar, who represents Bengaluru Bulls in the Pro-Kabaddi League, six months back.

Lalita left behind a lengthy video message and a suicide note accusing her in-laws and husband of “mental and physical harassment” over multiple issues, including dowry and her past. This was her second marriage.

“She has made a number of allegations in her video message and her note. She alleged that her in-laws and Rohit used to mentally and physically harass her. They would even make dowry demands,” a senior police officer had said.

Lalita’s parents during an SDM investigation alleged that their daughter was being harassed by her husband and in-laws.
