Family Rejects Suicide Theory

Deepika died late Sunday night after allegedly falling from the terrace of her three-storey matrimonial home in Jalpura village in Gautam Buddh Nagar district. However, her family has strongly denied claims that the incident was accidental or a suicide.

Her father, Sanjay Nagar, alleged that Deepika had called him hours before her death, claiming she was being assaulted by her in-laws over dowry demands. The family has accused the in-laws of demanding a Toyota Fortuner SUV along with Rs 45-50 lakh in cash.

According to relatives, family members had visited Deepika’s matrimonial home on Sunday evening in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Later that night, they received a call informing them that she had fallen and had been admitted to a hospital.

“When we reached the hospital, she was already dead,” the victim’s father alleged.

Questions Raised Over Injuries

Deepika’s relatives have questioned the differing explanations allegedly given by the in-laws regarding how the incident occurred. Family members claimed the injuries found on her body did not appear consistent with a fall from height.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Shailendra Kumar Singh said the investigation is ongoing and efforts are being made to arrest the remaining accused named in the complaint.
