India Aug 01, 2026

A 30-year-old government school lecturer, Srishti Kandari, was found dead at her in-laws' house in Dehradun on July 29.

Just before her death, she sent her mother a video describing ongoing mental harassment from her husband's family.

Her relatives allege the abuse got worse after her father-in-law died and say she was unfairly blamed for his passing.

Srishti had planned to return home the same day.

Public outrage prompts CB-CID probe

Public outrage pushed Uttarakhand's chief minister to order a CB-CID investigation for a fair look into the case.

Police have registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita law.

The emotional video Srishti left behind has raised even more questions about what really happened.
