Yet another news item about the death of a desi of Andhra origin. This time it is from Northridge, South California where the Hindu reports:
In yet another case of suspected murder of an Indian in United States, a 24-year-old woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances at her house near Los Angeles.
A pall of gloom descended on Goli Sushma’s parents house in Himayatnagar area here after her family received the news yesterday. The family allege that her husband Suresh Babu, a software engineer, could be involved in the murder. (link)
The Times of India reports that the police have ruled out foul play :
While the autopsy report, which would determine the cause of death, is yet to be received, police said preliminary investigations did not point to foul play.
“I do not believe that there is a crime associated with the death,” Sergeant Maria Stpierre, supervisor at the Devonshire Police Station, said.(link)
This appears to be a case of suicide.The grief-stricken family is having trouble coming to terms with this.
Sushma’s relatives said they had also not received any information from Babu’s parents who also stay in Hyderabad. They added that Babu had complained that the marriage was not performed on a grand scale. He was also not satisfied with the Rs.1 million dowry Sushma’s parents had given….Sushma, who completed her engineering degree from a city college, had worked in a private bank in Hyderabad for a year before marriage.
This is the part I do not understand at all. The lady herself was an educated engineer and so was her husband.Yet the marriage market evidently requires that a price be paid in cash! Its absolutely depressing.
