Kolkata, May 2 (IANS) A newly married woman committed suicide after allegedly facing torture from her in-laws over dowry in West Bengal's Nadia district, police said.
"Pratima Das (22), a resident of Nadia district's Taherpur, committed suicide by hanging herself on Monday night," a senior officer from Taherpur police station said.
Pratima was married to Jeet Das, a BSF trooper for three months. Her husband mostly stayed away from home due to professional commitments.
