The death of a 27-year-old housewife in California has led her parents to blamer her husband his family of foul play. Kinnera Sai Sindhu died under suspicious circumstances, Kinnera Krishnaiah of Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, told Indian media that he suspects his son-in-law Dasari Udayakumar of eliminating their daughter after harassing her for additional dowry.
The Hindu reported Feb. 12 that Krishnaiah had earlier registered a complaint with the district police authorities, but he said that there was no immediate response from the officials with regard to the registration of the case.
Sindhu was married to Udayakumar, a resident of Hyderabad, about four years ago. He was working as a hardware professional in California and never said clearly as to which company he was employed with.
For the past four months, the harassment for additional dowry intensified but Sindhu was stated to have told her parents that she would adjust somehow. “I told her to come back home. But, she did not listen. Now she lost her life. I want the authorities to book a case and handover the body to me Krishnaiah said.
Stating that Udayakumar’s parents were also responsible for her daughter’s death, Krishnaiah demanded that their passports be seized and stringent action taken against them. Sindhu’s body was expected to reach Hyderabad by Feb. 12, after which last rites would be performed in Nellore.
