Vaishnavi, a 26-year-old IT professional who was three months pregnant, allegedly took her own life due to intense mental and physical harassment from her husband and in-laws. Despite spending heavily on their wedding, her husband's family continuously pressured her parents to provide five lakh rupees for a car.

Vaishnavi's father, Pravin Jarande, accused her husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law of murdering her rather than driving her to suicide. He reported that the night before her death, her husband repeatedly threatened on a phone call, saying, "Don't take me lightly, I will do something".

Vaishnavi and Omkar Ghisre had a love marriage on May 9, 2026, just five months before the tragedy. According to the family, the demands and harassment started shortly after the wedding, with her husband calling her father to demand money for a car just a month into the marriage.
