Gurgaon: A 23-year-old woman, Rashmi, was found dead in Rampura village of Kherki Daula on Sunday, following which a murder case was filed against her husband, Sunil Kumar.The couple got married in 2019 and lived in a rented house in the Lala Ki Dhani area of Rampura. Sunil worked as a security guard at a private company in the city and left his job 10 days ago.Rashmi’s brother, complainant Mahendra Singh, said he got a call from Sunil at 11.22am and was told that she had hanged herself.Mahendra, along with his wife, rushed to the couple’s house and found her lying unresponsive on a bed with a scarf tied around her neck. He said her body turned blue, and she showed no signs of life.He alleged that Sunil repeatedly assaulted Rashmi for dowry, which led to frequent quarrels.Another relative, Neeraj Kumar, added that Sunil’s family was repeatedly demanding a bike, cash and cattle and allegedly threatened to kill Rashmi if their demands were not met.Another relative claimed Rashmi often returned to her parental home in UP due to the harassment and assault.“At times, he would beat her and leave her at her parents’ house. She mostly stayed there. After Holi, they came back to Gurgaon, and Sunil assured that things would be fine, but within days, this incident happened,” a relative said.The family also alleged that Sunil had stolen Rashmi’s gold jewellery and mobile phone after the incident.Mahendra, who also works as a security officer, said he lived barely 5 km away from the couple’s house. “Sunil also worked with me but left his job around 10 days ago. I never imagined I would receive such a news,” he said.An FIR has been registered under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Kherki Daula police station, and investigation is underway.
