She also spoke about the emotional distress she had allegedly endured for six months and said she could no longer bear it.“Everything has become so strange. I have been enduring this for six months. Now I can’t endure it anymore. Their mindset can never change. They keep blaming me for things that happened after our marriage. They call me ‘manhoos, manhoos’ (cursed),” she says in the video.Shristi’s family alleged that she died due to dowry harassment in Dehradun’s Doiwala area. They accused her husband and in-laws of harassing her over dowry demands.Based on a complaint filed by her mother, Seema Bhandari, police on Thursday registered an FIR under BNS Section 80(2) (dowry death) against Shristi’s husband Saurabh Khatri, a personal secretary at the Uttarakhand state secretariat, his mother Parvina Devi, sister Charu Khatri and other unidentified family members.According to the complaint, Shristi married Saurabh Khatri in November last year and had been living with him in Doiwala, around 20 km from Dehradun city. Her family alleged that soon after the marriage, she was subjected to physical and mental harassment by her husband and in-laws over dowry demands.Circle officer (Doiwala) Vandana Verma said Shristi was allegedly repeatedly humiliated by her in-laws, who called her “inauspicious” and “unlucky” for the family.“They socially humiliated her, claiming that misfortunes began after her arrival. When her father-in-law died after a prolonged illness, the family blamed her for his death as well,” Verma said.
