‘She Had Been Suffering…’: Brother

Her brother told ANI that Akriti had been suffering for a long time, adding that her husband used to blame her excessively.

"He would torture her, harbour extreme suspicions, and even physically abuse her."

“When she told us, we took action, just 2-3 days before this incident occurred,” the brother lamented.

Further investigations are underway.
