The family of Pan Masala tycoon Kamal Kishore’s daughter-in-law, Deepti Chaurasia, who died under mysterious circumstances, has accused her husband and mother-in-law of physically assaulting her.
Rishabh, Deepti’s brother, alleged that his sister used call her and complain about the torture. He also claimed that Deepti’s husband, Harpreet, was involved in extramarital affairs.

Suspecting foul play in her sister’s death, Rishabh demanded a thorough probe and and justice for his sister. “I don’t know whether my sister was killed or died by suicide. I spoke to her 2-3 days ago… I just want justice…,” he said.
He further said that Deepti had married Harpreet in 2010 and their relationship was strained. “He used to physically assault her and abuse her…,” he claimed.
Deepti was found dead under mysterious circumstances at the Chaurasia family’s residence in Delhi’s Vasant Vihar on Tuesday.
According to reports, police have recovered a diary in which Deepti mentioned a dispute with her husband.
While the police prima facie suspect it to be a case of suicide, a detailed investigation is currently underway. Her body was brought to the Safdarjung Hospital last night, where a panel of doctors will conduct the postmortem.
