Hyderabad: A 33-year-old psychologist died by suicide on Tuesday, allegedly after being harassed by her husband, a software engineer, and her in-laws in Hyderabad, according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr A Rajitha met Rohit, during her internship at a mental health facility in Banjara Hills, where he had been admitted for treatment. Rohit\u2019s family reportedly observed a significant improvement in his mental health under her care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple got married soon after Rohit proposed. According to Rajitha\u2019s family, he quit his job after their wedding and allegedly began using her salary for personal expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajitha served as a child psychologist at a reputed international school. Her family said she often pleaded with Rohit to change his behaviour, but he wouldn\u2019t listen. They also alleged that he physically assaulted her whenever she refused to give him money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time, the harassment reportedly worsened. Rohit, his parents – Kishtaiah and Surekha – and his brother Mohit were all said to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajitha is said to have made her first suicide attempt on July 16 by taking sleeping pills, reportedly as a result of the abuse she faced. She was admitted to a hospital and later brought home by her parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her second attempt took place on July 28, when she jumped from the bathroom window of her fourth-floor apartment. She sustained critical head injuries and was later pronounced brain dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her father, Sub-Inspector Narsimha Goud, filed a complaint, based on which a case has been registered by the Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have registered a case under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code against the husband and his family members based on the complaint from the father,” greaterandhra quoted a Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar police officer as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The investigation is ongoing, and we are gathering evidence related to the harassment allegations.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
