“My brother tried to prove his innocence through his death”

After the death of our father, the whole family’s responsibility came upon my brother Pushkar’s shoulders. He was a government employee in Lucknow. He was falsely implicated by his wife under the Dowry Act. After the complaint was lodged, Pushkar was locked up for 15 days but was released on bail. However, his wife's family threatened those who gave the bail. They withdrew the bail and he was sent to jail for four months. He kept fighting for three years but in vain. Ultimately, he committed suicide by hanging himself. His suicide note read, “My wife has wrongly implicated me in a dowry case...I had to sell my house as the financial situation of my family worsened. My in-laws are responsible for my death.” Rani added that her brother was innocent and was twice put behind bars. She also said that no one heard Pushkar’s plea.

My mother is ill and my younger brother handicapped and unemployed. I have two sisters who are married. So, there is no one to take care of my mother. In fact, we live in a rented house and running a household has become next to impossible for us.
