A 33-year-old psychiatrist, allegedly subjected to sustained domestic abuse, died by <a title="crime" href="https://www.benefitnews24.com/crime/2-students-held-in-odisha-girl-s-suicide-case/17379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide</a> at her residence in Sanathnagar Czech Colony, police said on Wednesday.
The deceased, Dr A. Rajitha, was reportedly driven to despair by relentless harassment from her husband Rohit, his parents Kishtaiah and Surekha, and his brother Mohit, according to a complaint filed by her father, Sub-Inspector Narsimha Goud, with Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar Police.
Rajitha had met Rohit while pursuing her master&rsquo;s degree in psychology. Sources said Rohit was a patient at a mental health facility in Banjara Hills where she was interning. After observing significant improvement in his condition, his family encouraged the alliance.
Though Rohit claimed to be a software engineer, he reportedly became financially dependent on Rajitha after their marriage. Employed as a child psychologist at a reputed international school, Rajitha bore the brunt of financial pressure and alleged physical and emotional abuse.

&ldquo;She wanted him to take responsibility, but he misused her earnings,&rdquo; a family member said. The abuse reportedly escalated when Rajitha refused to give Rohit money, with allegations of physical assault surfacing in the complaint.
On 16 July, Rajitha attempted suicide by consuming sleeping pills and was hospitalised. After being discharged, she moved back in with her parents. But on 28 July, she reportedly jumped from the fourth-floor bathroom window of their flat, suffering critical head injuries.
She was declared brain-dead at a hospital in Ameerpet and succumbed on Tuesday, police confirmed.
A case has been registered under Sections 498A (cruelty by husband) and 306 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC. Police are investigating the sequence of events leading to her death and are examining allegations against Rohit and his family.
