The woman’s conversations with her family and friends indicate that she was subjected to emotional and mental abuse from her husband and mother-in-law, a retired judge.
She felt trapped. She was under tremendous psychological pressure. I made desperate pleas for help. But in the end she fell silent. A 33-year-old woman was found dead in her matrimonial home in Bhopal last week, and the trauma was evident from her conversations with her family and friends indicating severe mental and emotional abuse from her husband and mother-in-law, a retired judge.
The woman’s family is unable to come to terms with the loss and is now fighting for justice because they fear that the evidence will be tampered with due to the accused family’s high standing and fear that the facts will be skewed in their favour.
Her family accused the man and his mother of murder. The family also claims that her in-laws physically assaulted her and then destroyed the evidence.
“I’m so trapped”
In one conversation with her mother, the woman said she felt “very trapped.” In one letter, the woman tells her mother: “Na ronay denge ye log na hasne ki vajah denge (They will not let me cry, they will not give me a reason to smile).”
“Mai to buhat puri tara faas gayi ho (I’m trapped badly“)
“Ve sabko ye lajta hai ki mai drug karte ho, isili mera mood kharab reta hai (They all think I’m a drug addict, that’s why I’m always in a bad mood)”
“Mujhe to bohat zyada ghutan ho rahi hai maa (I feel so suffocated, mom)
In other letters, she tells her mother that her husband accused her of adultery because she wanted to abort her pregnancy. “That’s all I have to say about this (He asks me who gave birth)”
The mother appears in the messages trying to calm her daughter down and asking her to ignore his accusations. She even offered her father to apologize to her husband, saying: “Papa se naak ragadva ke maafi maangvana chahta hai (He wants Baba Ko to apologize by rubbing his nose).”
“Think carefully before getting married.”
The woman’s conversations with her friends also revealed her desire to remove herself from the situation that made her anxious. In one such conversation with a friend, she expressed her desire to start working, saying that staying at home all day was causing her anxiety.
“I’m trapped bro, bas tu mat phasna,” she told a friend in a letter.
When her friend felt a problem, she asked her about her health condition and she said that she was fine, but she missed home and her friends.
“Shaadi ki khujli mai shadi mat karna, soch samajh ke aage badhna (Don’t get married just for this. Move forward with caution),” she says in another conversation.
She met her husband on a dating app
The woman had met her husband, a Bhopal-based lawyer, through a dating app in 2024. The two married her in December 2025, according to news agency PTI. She moved to Bhopal after marriage, but her family claims she wanted to return to Noida and was in touch with them until 10 pm on the night of her death, May 12.
