In a case of gruesome domestic violence, a Hyderabad techie beat up his wife which lead to her committing suicide. 31-year-old home maker Susrutha was beaten up by her husband for leaving geyser on for too long. She left a message to her father that she was dragged and physically assaulted by her husband, Mohan Rao, in front of her in-laws and her sons, for leaving the geyser switched on for too long. Sushrutha's older son has told the police that his father had beaten his mother.

The police have arrested Mohan Rao and his parents. Susrutha's parents say she had described her humiliation on the phone and wept. She had also spoken to her parents on the phone and said she had been beaten badly. Her father Satyanarayana told her that they would come to her as soon as they could. But by the time her parents reached her home in Hyderabad from Nalgonda, about one and a half hours away, they were told their daughter had hung herself to death.

No suicide note was found, but police registered a case against Mohan under Sections 306 (abetment to commit suicide) and 498-a (subjecting married woman to cruelty) of the IPC and Sections 3, 4, 6 of the DP Act based on a complaint by her family members. Sushrutha’s parents allege that hot water was poured on her and have urged the police to register a case of murder against Mohan.
