Do you know how public punished a rapist in Dimapur Nagaland?
5000 citizens broke into the jail, pulled out the culprit and hanged him in the city square.
This is the punishment.
The law is too weak.

I am as frustrated and shattered as you are. But firstly I would like to question the parents (not only parents of pranati) but all the Indian parents who bring up their daughters in this shitty society to not to defend or open their mouths against in-laws to win over their hearts no matter what. We girls don’t have anything to do apart from commiting suicide in this worst society. Do you really want this to happen to you daughters. Think!!!! Marriage is not everything. Life is not only about give birth to a child and saving money for them. Life is much more. Come out of your shell and look at the world.

It’s shocking! A PhD aspirant getting treated like this! Obviously the son was not taught to treat life with respect. He must be put behind bars with his mother. God be with the parents and help them cope with this loss. 🙏🙏

Isn’t the crime beyond the MIL and husband? Isn’t the society that has entrenched values where a woman is basically property to blame as well? Isn’t each and every citizen that abides by these accepted norms, not dowry alone which has changed, but the girl child as subservient slave to inlaws and husband? And sadly, isn’t the parents too that buy an iron box for their educated daughter? The parents who now grieve are complicit for not taking her out of such a home due to societal norms. Parents that knew she was s domestic slave now question how they may have raised her? How about how they reacted to “clouds”. There are enough stories in India just like this for every parent to take immediate notice when trouble starts to show. But yo save reputation they justify the most heinous treatment of a daughter until it’s too late. All are to blame. Society, girls parents and MIL and husband. Until someone feels enough pain to take up a public and vocal cause to point to this injustice towards women. All have blood on their hands. And yet, even as this happens every day, feminist is a dirty word. Asking that women not be treated as second class and as subservient to husbands, is feminism. But rare is the day msm will allow such a discourse.

It’s the social stigma of walking out on marriage however abusive it was. I have seen so many educated women with highly paid job not have confidence to stand for themselves. If I have to guess, she must have threatened to walk out or report to police. That’s when this extreme step was taken by in laws

An educated husband and educated mother in law behaving in such a highly pathetic nature leading to the most abrupt and untimely end of the daughter in law, Ammulu is very disgusting and uncalled for. We pray almighty for a very speedy justice. Her mother Bhramaramba is a very calm going and never used to speak anything against her in laws and used to oblige to them. Same characteristics she had imbibed in her daughter also as a result Ammulu had been very intelligent and at the same time very respectful to elders. The treatment meted out to her by her in laws is horrible and highly condemnble. All the people concerned and involved in this crime should be punished immediately since justice delayed is justice denied.

I personally do not know you nor your daughter but the article brought tears in my eyes and a deep pain in my heart…this is nothing but dowry death..no doubt at all..in hindsight we can say many things..this should have been done that should not have been done etc etc but all that is of no use..the most relevant question is will the culprits be punished ? The answer is very unfortunately “not sure “why am I so pessimistic? The answer is clear..she got married in 2015 and she died in 2019..if death of a married woman occurs within seven years of her marriage under such unnatural circumstances (including suicide) then section 304 B should be applied..but I read that section 306 is applied..it’s a mistake..section 304B makes the husband and mother in law both guilty at the very beginning of the case and they have to prove their innocence..instead sec 306 prosecution has to prove their guilt…why did the police not treat it as dowry death eventhough this case is fit case under 304 B ?
Only a concerted fight will ensure punishment to the culprits… otherwise they will come out of the case soon and let’s not be surprised if that man gets married soon to another innocent unsuspecting girl and one more Sai Pranathi will become victim of their greed…very sad but it’s very likely to happen…who will fight for justice?

It is a shame that such tragic incidents are still very common in our country. Though I don’t know you personally, I can understand your feelings. I pray to GOD to be with you in your fight to get justice for your dear Ammulu.
