12 Years After Love Marriage, Greater Noida Woman Dies Consuming Poison; Alleges Harassment By In-Laws

A 32-year-old woman from Greater Noida allegedly died by suicide after consuming poison, with her family accusing her husband and in-laws of physical and mental harassment.

The incident has once again raised serious concerns over domestic abuse and alleged dowry-related harassment cases in India, coming shortly after the deaths of Twisha Sharma in Bhopal and Deepika Nagar in Greater Noida.

Police have started an investigation into the matter.

Woman Identified As Sonika Bhati

According to police officials, the deceased woman has been identified as Sonika Bhati, a resident originally from Bulandshahr.

Police said Sonika had married Subhash Sharma around 12 years ago in a love marriage.
Family members alleged that despite the marriage being based on mutual choice, Sonika had been facing physical and emotional harassment from her husband and his family members for some time.

Father Alleges Daughter Informed Him About Harassment

According to police, Sonika's father Rakesh Singh told investigators that his daughter had contacted him on May 20 and informed him about the alleged harassment she was facing at her matrimonial home.

The father claimed that Sonika spoke about both physical and mental torture allegedly caused by her husband and in-laws.

A day later, the family reportedly received shocking news about her condition.

Husband Informed Family About Hospitalisation

Police said that on Thursday, Sonika's husband Subhash Sharma contacted Rakesh Singh and asked him to come to the Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) hospital in Greater Noida.

When the family reached the hospital, they found that Sonika had died after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance.

The exact circumstances surrounding her death are currently under investigation.
Officials from Kasna Police Station said further legal action will be taken based on evidence and statements collected during the investigation.

Fresh Attention On Harassment And Dowry Cases

The case has surfaced at a time when several incidents involving alleged harassment of married women have triggered public concern across the country.

Recently, the deaths of Twisha Sharma in Bhopal and Deepika Nagar in Greater Noida also led to allegations of harassment and dowry-related abuse by in-laws.

In both cases, families claimed that the women died under suspicious circumstances after facing pressure and mistreatment within their marriages.
These repeated incidents have once again brought attention to the issue of domestic violence, emotional abuse and dowry harassment in Indian society.

Investigation Continues

Police officials said statements from family members and other people connected to the case are being recorded.

Authorities are expected to examine medical reports, phone conversations and other evidence to determine the events leading up to Sonika Bhati's death.
No final conclusion has yet been announced by investigators.

Meanwhile, the tragic incident has left the family demanding justice and stricter action against domestic abuse and harassment faced by married women.
