A 26-year-old Hyderabad techie died by suicide after suffering harassment at her husband's hands

Ishita Yadav was a 26-year-old software engineer from Bihar. She was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the hall of her marital apartment on April 1, 2025. It was her husband, Neeraj Bhansal, who found her and instantly alerted the police after finding her.

As per the police, Ishita and Neeraj had a love marriage. They met on social media in 2020. Ishita hailed from Bihar. On the other hand, her husband, Neeraj, belonged to Madhya Pradesh. The two were together for five years. On February 20, 2026, the couple got married in the presence of their family in Patna. The two worked in the software sector.

As per Ishita Yadav's parents, the couple's differences started growing after their marriage. The family revealed that Neeraj allegedly started pressuring Ishita for dowry and asked her to force her family to invest money in his start-up company, which he had launched recently. 

An FIR was lodged at Miyapur police station on the complaint filed by Ishita's parents, and an inquiry was conducted. Ishita's body has been shifted to Gandhi Hospital for postmortem examination. The police have even taken the husband into custody and questioned him on the matter. 

Internet users also reacted to the matter. One user wrote, "Has the girl's family or any other relative revealed the reason? I wonder what prompted her to resort to the extreme step." Another pointed, "Doesn't look like a dowry case given the condition - LM + diff states. All the deaths are by default declared as dowry death, even with different reasons, if an unfortunate incident happened within a few years of marriage. A proper investigation must be done without any bias." A third user penned, "No matter if you are an engineer or a housewife, these typical sh*t-eaters will always be greedy enough to burn their women or drive them to suicide for dowery..!" 

We pray for the family as they navigate the most difficult time.
