A 35-year-old software engineer has taken her own life in Hyderabad, only six months following her marriage. Devika took her own life at her residence in Hyderabad on Sunday evening. Her spouse Satish, who is also a techie, told the police and Devika’s relatives that she had committed suicide by hanging.
The couple tied the knot six months ago at a lavish ceremony in Goa. After Devika’s passing, her family claimed that Satish had been tormenting her for dowry, which drove her to the brink.
Reports indicate that Devika and Satish were co-workers who began a romantic relationship after their encounter at the office.
They ultimately chose to wed, and both families consented. The wedding occurred at the end of August last year.

Local media has stated that the pair argued on Sunday night, prompting Devika to confine herself in a room. She didn’t answer Satish’s knocks, so he thought she was asleep.
When she hadn’t emerged from the room the following morning, he forced the door open to discover her hanging. He subsequently notified the authorities and her relatives.
In a report filed at Raidurgam police station, Devika’s mother Ramalakshami has claimed that Satish tormented her due to dowry issues, which may have led her to take her own life. Authorities have stated that an investigation is underway.
