Adilabad: An Armed Reserve constable, Ramavath Anita, posted at the Warangal police commissionerate, died by suicide on January 27, unable to cope with harassment by two men. She was a native of Seethya Thanda in Parvathagiri mandal of Warangal district.
According to police, a distant relative, Rajender of Kommanapalli Thanda in Thorrur mandal, allegedly harassed Anita by insisting she avoid interacting closely with others, promising to marry her, and repeatedly asking her to make video calls even while she was on duty. It is learnt that Anita’s parents had earlier refused his marriage proposal, citing concerns over his character.
Police said Rajender later came to know that Anita was interested in marrying Jabbar Lal. He allegedly provided false information about her to Jabbar, following which Jabbar too began harassing her. It is further alleged that Jabbar demanded dowry as a condition for marriage.
On January 28, Hanamkonda police initially registered a case under Section 108 read with Section 62 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Subsequently, the sections were altered to Section 108 read with Section 3(5) of the BNS, based on a complaint lodged by her family members.
