Nisha Kumari, a woman from the Janakpur area of Gaya district, Bihar, has died under suspicious circumstances. Her father, Shravan Kumar, has allegedly accused her husband, Abhishek Kumar, of murder due to ongoing dowry demands and abuse.

Married since 2015, Nisha was reportedly facing escalating harassment, especially after the birth of her two daughters. A harrowing video, now widely shared on social media, allegedly shows Abhishek beating Nisha in front of their distressed children.

Police have registered an FIR against Abhishek and his family members, sent Nisha’s body for post-mortem, and are continuing their investigation. Meanwhile, Abhishek claims he was in Patna when informed that Nisha had allegedly consumed poison and later died during treatment.
