Visakhapatnam: Case booked against in-laws of pregnant woman who drowned in beach

Even as mystery shrouds the death of a pregnant woman, who drowned in the beach near the YMCA in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, the police registered a case against her in-laws. The deceased person, identified as Swetha (25), was a resident of Dondaparty in the city.

According to the police, the 25-year-old was married to a software engineer, a resident of Pedagantyada, last year. Said to be pregnant, Swetha left behind a suicide note before heading out. Her parents alleged that harassment by her in-laws drove her to take the extreme step. Upon locating the body of the pregnant woman who drowned in the beach, the Visakhapatnam City Police shifted it to KGH for post-mortem examination. A further investigation is on its course.
