After being harassed by her husband for years, for giving birth to two girls, a 24-year-old woman committed suicide along with her daughters by jumping in front of a local train near Asangaon. The woman's father approached the GRP, Kalyan, and filed a complaint against her husband. He claims that his daughter committed suicide because her husband doubted her character and harassed her.
