The Panjagutta police have registered a case and referred her to the hospital. The case is under investigation.
Meanwhile, Anuradha’s brother-inlaw, B Ramana told The Times of India that his brother Chandini Kumar’s was a love marriage which took place in 1992. They have a daughter too.
“But my parents had been harassing her as she did not bring any dowry. They had been demanding dowry which she could not get as her parents died when she was too young,� he said.
He also said that it is the fourth time his parents had tried to kill her. She was very tolerant and did not lodge a complaint during the last three incidents.
This time she has no other option but to seek police help, lest she would be killed, he said.
