Kangana Ranaut reacts to tragic deaths
Taking to Instagram Stories, Kangana Ranaut wrote, “So many tragic news about young married women comes up every day. Many of these young, educated ladies even beg their parents to help them out of their suffocating situations before tragedies strike them, but Indian society is notorious for abandoning daughters once they are married.”
“My advice to young women out there which no social media or fashion/dating/wedding/make up industry is telling you. Your career is more important than anyone else in your life. Think about marriage only after you are independent. Please, you have to be your own hero. No one is coming to save you. What you do and what you are is more important than who you marry. Build a life that you want; don’t listen to anyone,” she further added.
Twisha Sharma death
Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old actress and model, was found dead at her husband’s Bhopal home. According to her in-laws, she was two months pregnant and was found hanging from a nylon belt. According to the post-mortem, “two parallel ligature marks” were found on Twisha’s neck. However, the investigating officer did not produce the alleged nylon belt recovered from the scene. Police have now registered a case of dowry harassment and abetment of suicide against the husband and mother-in-law.
Inspector Sunil Dubey, part of the SIT team, who was first to investigate the case, was quoted as saying by Indian Express, “The body was not recovered from the police. We got to know from AIIMS Bhopal that the lady was dead. By the time we reached AIIMS, we found the belt used to hang herself was missing from the preliminary medical report. Our team went to the house and did a crime scene investigation, where an exercise band that she used to hang herself was recovered. By the time, the post-mortem had been completed at AIIMS.”
On the other hand, Deepika Nagar‘s body was found with multiple severe injuries in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. According to reports, she died after falling from the roof of her in-laws’ house, months after facing dowry harassment. Her death came around 17 months after her wedding to Ritick Tanwar. Reportedly, the woman’s family spent Rs 1 crore on the wedding.
