Overview
- Vishakha Tilkar, 26, was found hanging inside her Ambernath matrimonial home and police took the body for post‑mortem after receiving information about the death.
- Her family alleges sustained dowry demands, including a reported request for 50 grams of gold, and says harassment began soon after the couple married on April 30.
- Relatives say the husband installed CCTV cameras inside and outside the house to monitor Vishakha’s movements and that she was beaten two days before she died after speaking to a neighbour.
- Shivajinagar police have registered an FIR for dowry harassment, cruelty and abetment to suicide, arrested husband Dr. Nitin Tilkar, and named his mother and brother as additional accused.
- Investigators are collecting CCTV footage, examining digital devices and recording witness statements while the probe proceeds, a development that could intensify public and legal scrutiny of dowry‑related abuse.
