• Dipti Magar Chaudhary committed suicide due to severe harassment by her in-laws, who demanded a male heir and forced a sex determination test and abortion.
• The in-laws, including Sarpanch Sunita Chaudhary and her husband, allegedly subjected Dipti to mental, physical, and financial torture since shortly after her lavish wedding seven years ago.
• After Dipti gave birth to a daughter, her in-laws expressed displeasure and extorted ₹35 lakh cash from her parents, citing business needs and a car not given at the wedding.
• When Dipti became pregnant again, she was forced to undergo a sex determination test; upon discovering it was a girl, her in-laws forcibly aborted the five-month-old fetus.
• A complaint has been registered against her husband Rohan Chaudhary, mother-in-law Sunita Chaudhary, father-in-law Karbhari Chaudhary, and brother-in-law Rohit Chaudhary at Uruli Kanchan Police Station.
