According to the brother, they intervened after she informed them of an alleged incident of physical assault, hoping reconciliation would improve the situation.It was only on July 3, a day before her death, that she disclosed the extent of the alleged physical abuse, threats and repeated harassment she had faced over the preceding weeks, he claimed.Also Read: Delhi shocker: Husband allegedly kills wife with battery, dies by suicide hours laterWarning signs missed?Looking back, the family believes there were warning signs they failed to fully recognise."She became quieter after marriage.

The brother further alleged that after she informed her family about the abuse, her husband threatened to have him assaulted and dismissed from his job if she continued discussing their marital issues with them.What happened on July 4?On July 4, she left her office but did not return home. After repeated calls to her phone went unanswered, the family began searching for her.
