21-yr-old girl allegedly strangled to death by mother

A 21-year-old girl was allegedly strangled to death by her mother in Dandumailaram village of Ibrahimpatnam mandal on Monday night. She was a student of a degree college in Dilsukhnagar.

As per the police complaint filed by the deceased’s brother, Bhargavi was strangled to death by her mother around 9 p.m. on March 18. Investigation is underway to ascertain the motive of death.

“The girl was in love with a boy in the neighbourhood who was from their community. Apparently the girl’s mother wanted to get her married to her relative, which the victim didn’t agree to. The girl’s mother reportedly strangled her to death on Monday at their residence in Dandumailaram village around 9 p.m.,” Assistant Commissioner of Police of Ibrahimpatnam Police K.P.V Raju said.

A case has been registered and the body was sent to Osmania General Hospital for postmortem. “The girl’s mother is unconscious and was admitted to a nearby hospital on Monday. She is still not in a state to be questioned,” the official added. The girl is survived by two siblings.
