LUDHIANA: Following Kusum Lata's death under mysterious circumstances on Thursday, her in-laws have accused Lata's parents for the death.

Lata used to work as a supervisor in Woman and Child Welfare Department in Mangat village. The police is investigating the case and has sent the body for postmortem and viscera report. The result is awaited to clarify the cause of death. However, sources informed that the primary cause of death was some disease.

Lata's brother Ramesh told that she was suffering for depression following separation from husband Ranjan Kumar and the family. For this, she had been undergoing treatment at Khanna for past some time. On Thursday, when her condition deteriorated, he took her to the DMC hospital for treatment where she died. And when he informed lata's in-laws about the death, they cried foul.

In a similar case, Devender Kumar alias Sonu, a resident of Shimlapuri area, committed suicide when his in-laws charged him of murdering their daughter, Pooja for dowry. Devender and Pooja had tied the nuptial knot following a love affair one-and-half-year-ago. Pooja's parents alleged that Devender murdered their daughter as the couple used to have frequent fights over dowry.

But, Devender's parents denied the allegation and informed that Pooja was operated upon for the stone problem and was not keeping well. Postmortem report of the deceased girl, too, revealed that she died of some disease.

Talking to TOI, a sociologist, said, "Such cases are coming into light because of the misuse of media. It has nothing to do with human psyche. They are using the media to settle their personal vendetta." "People accuse others when they do not have anything else to do. They are misusing media and the laws," said IJS Jaswal, head, department of human development, PAU.

Sharing his view, SSP RK Jaiswal said, "Generally it is a emotional reaction. Seeing their near and dear one's death people come out with such accusations. However, we do not take chances but investigate the matter to find the real reason for the death."
