A woman died under suspicious circumstances two years after her love marriage in Nimanwada village, Khaira police station area, Jamui district. While her in-laws claim it was a suicide, the deceased's family alleges murder. The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday morning. The deceased has been identified as Neetu Kumari (22), wife of Rahul Kumar, a resident of Nimanwada. Neetu had a love marriage with Rahul two years ago.

Upon receiving the news, Neetu's family, who hail from Tarapur village in Munger district's Safiabad police station area, arrived in Nimanwada. They accused the in-laws of murdering their daughter and trying to pass it off as a suicide. The family stated that Neetu was constantly being harassed for dowry and demanded a fair investigation and strict action against the culprits.

Local villagers mentioned that Rahul and Neetu had a love affair and got married against their families' wishes. Disputes between them were frequent since the marriage, though the exact cause remains unclear.

Khaira police have taken the body into custody and sent it to Jamui Sadar Hospital for post-mortem. Police stated that the cause of death would only be clear after the post-mortem report. The police are thoroughly investigating the matter and recording statements from both sides. The incident has cast a pall of grief over both Nimanwada and Tarapur villages.
