Anupriya (29) was found dead in her house last Tuesday. She was found hanging in the room on the first floor of the house.

The arrest was made on the complaint of Anupriya's relatives. They had alleged that Anupriya committed suicide due to mental torture by her husband and in-laws.

Anupriya went to the room after having lunch at 2.30 pm on Tuesday. She was found hanging at around 5 pm.

Anupriya and Manu got married six months ago. After 15 days of marriage, Manu went to Gulf. Despite getting pregnant, she had an abortion. Following this, her husband's parents started mentally harassing her. Although she told about this to Manu, he too started to talk about the same thing. As a result, Anupriya became mentally stressed. Relatives said that Anupriya committed suicide following this.

The police found a 6-page letter about Anupriya's husband and family in Anupriya's room. Aruvikara police have registered a case of unnatural death.
