Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a woman doctor in Hyderabad attempted suicide due to alleged harassment by her husband and in-laws. She recorded a distressing video detailing the severe emotional and physical suffering she had been enduring at the hands of her family. Her heartbreaking video has triggered widespread outrage on social media, with netizens demanding swift justice.

The 32-year-old gynaecologist currently employed at Fernandez Hospital has been married to a software professional, since 2018. The couple initially resided in the United States but returned to Hyderabad in 2021, settling in the Champapet Press Colony. They have a four-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

Despite multiple attempts to resolve their marital conflicts, including interventions at the Saroornagar police station, the couple's issues only deepened over time. Matters took a grave turn when her husband moved out, leaving her alone with her daughter and mother. During this period, the harassment from her in-laws reportedly intensified, subjecting her to frequent arguments and emotional torment.

As per the recent media report by Asianet News, on Monday night, after yet another heated argument, Praneetha reportedly went to the Saroornagar police station to file a complaint against her in-laws. However, her family alleges that the police inspector, instead of addressing her concerns, dismissed them with unsolicited advice, questioning why she was still living with her in-laws and suggesting she might consider living separately. Feeling helpless and unsupported by both her family and the authorities, Praneetha’s mental state deteriorated, leading her to attempt suicide the following day.
