Blessed to have such in-laws: UP woman dies by suicide, leaves emotional note
A 28-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur died by suicide after struggling with a spinal illness, leaving behind an emotional note expressing gratitude towards her
A 28-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur died by suicide after struggling with a spinal illness, leaving behind an emotional note expressing gratitude towards her husband and in-laws instead of blaming anyone. The woman, Nikki alias Vaishnavi, had married Shivam Shukla around three years ago. According to police and family members, she had been suffering from a spinal disorder for a long time and was undergoing treatment in Kanpur and Delhi. Read Full Story In her handwritten note, Nikki wrote that she was breaking her promise of staying with her family forever and urged them not to grieve.
"You are blessed if you get such an in-law's family. Everyone took great care of me. Please don't be sad. I am taking this step out of helplessness," she wrote. She also left instructions for her belongings. She asked her family to gift her scooter and jewellery to her younger brother-in-law's future bride, saying the jewellery had been bought with her father's money. She also requested that her mobile phone be given to her mother-in-law, noting that her phone had become old. Nikki is survived by her husband and a young son. Her husband, Shivam, is employed with the Railways in Madhya Pradesh.
Family members said they had ensured she received medical treatment despite her prolonged illness. According to relatives, Nikki had recently cleared the written stage of the Delhi Police recruitment examination and was preparing for the next round. However, she had reportedly become increasingly worried that her health would prevent her from qualifying. Police from Rawatpur reached the spot after receiving information about the incident and sent the body for postmortem. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dilip Singh said the suicide note suggests the woman was deeply distressed by her illness and feared she would never recover.
"The contents of the note indicate that she was upset because of her medical condition. Neither her parental family nor her in-laws have levelled any allegations against anyone. Further legal action will be taken after the postmortem report," the ACP said. Shivam, struggling to come to terms with the loss, said, "My wife was my life. Even though she was ill, she was my companion. I don't know why she took this step. We would have continued her treatment." Ends
