A 29-year-old Pune IT professional died by suicide following alleged harassment by her mother-in-law. Police have registered a case under abetment and cruelty charges as investigations continue.
A 29-year-old Pune woman working in the IT sector tragically ended her life on June 20, with her family alleging persistent harassment by her mother-in-law as the cause. Deepika Pramod Jadhav, an MBA graduate residing in Hadapsar’s Dream Elegance Society, was found dead in her home, leaving behind her husband and children in what has become another grim case of alleged domestic abuse leading to suicide.
The incident came to light when Deepika’s father, a resident of Raigad district, filed a complaint at Kalepadal Police Station. According to the FIR, Deepika had been suffering constant pressure from her mother-in-law to bring money from her parents, accompanied by verbal abuse and domestic cruelty. Married since 2017, the young professional had been living with her husband, children, and in-laws, enduring what her family claims was relentless mental torment.
Police confirmed that no suicide note was found at the scene. Assistant Police Inspector Vilas Sutar stated that the mother-in-law has been booked under Sections 108 (abetment to suicide) and 85 (cruelty by husband’s relatives) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. “The investigation is ongoing, and we are gathering evidence to verify all allegations,” Sutar added, noting that only the mother-in-law has been named in the FIR so far.
Deepika’s death has reignited concerns about domestic violence and the pressures faced by working women in traditional family setups. Friends and colleagues described her as a bright and dedicated professional, making her sudden demise all the more heartbreaking. The case highlights the urgent need for stronger support systems to protect women from familial abuse and mental distress.
