Unable to bear harassment by her in-laws any more, a woman allegedly committed suicide by setting herself ablaze at village Naushehra Simbli here.

Victim Manju Bala (30) allegedly poured kerosene over herself and set herself alight last evening, police said.

The woman's family in a police complaint have alleged that Manju, married in 2005, was allegedly being harassed for money by her in-laws.

According to the complaint, the woman's in-laws had asked her to get one lakh rupees from her family.

The complaint said that she refused to give into their demand and her husband Multan Singh, in-laws Veeru Ram and Bimla Devi, and daughter-in-law Sonia Devi allegedly started torturing and harassed her, which forced her to take the extreme step.
