Husband, in-laws held for abetting 24-year-old’s suicide in Bhavnagar

RAJKOT: Four members of a family, including husband of the deceased, were booked for abetting a 24-year-old woman’s suicide in Bhavnagar. According to Bor Talav police of Bhavnagar, Falguni Rawal, a resident of Kumbharvada area, ended life by hanging herself at her residence on Wednesday.
Before taking the extreme step, Falguni had called her mother, who lives in Ahmedabad, and informed about the harassment she was facing from her in-laws.Falguni’s father Bharat Dhandhukia lodged a complaint against her husband Vipul, mother-in-law Madhu, father-in-law Chiman and brother-in-law Umesh.
“Three years ago, Falguni and Vipul fell in love and got married against the wishes of their families. Later, Falguni’s parents, fearing backlash from their community, settled in Ahmedabad and cut all ties with their daughter. But a few months ago, Falguni visited her ailing mother and told her parents about being harassed by her in-laws over petty issues,” a source said.
Falguni’s parents even convinced her husband to settle in Ahmedabad with them. But the move did not go down well with her in-laws. A few days ago, Falguni and Vipul came to Bhavnagar to attend a function. Falguni’s in-laws again started harassing her and asked the couple to shift back to Bhavnagar.
