Before taking the extreme step, the victim shared the reason for ending her life and blamed her husband and in-laws for her death.
“The reason for my death is my husband, my brother-in-law, my in-laws. I had a love marriage.. They (in-laws) are threatening to kill me as I come from a lower caste. I went to many police stations to seek help but to no avail. I went to the women police station too, the CI turned a deaf ear to my complaint as my in-laws had bribed him. I did not get justice from the police and therefore, I am ending my life dying.. I don’t want other girls to go through the same,” Noor Jahan’s message in the selfie video.
