PUNE: A woman committed suicide on Thursday by setting herself on fire, allegedly due to repeated molestation by her father-in-law.
A case has been lodged against the latter. According to the Kothrud police, 23-year-old Deepali Shinde, was married to the son of the accused, Madhukar Shinde, a few years ago. She had returned to her parent’s home in Aundh from the Shinde residence at Shivne village, two weeks ago.
When she discovered that there was very little her parents could do to end her ordeal, she is believed to have immolated herself.
