New Delhi: A Delhi-based air hostess was found hanging from the ceiling fan in a five-star hotel in Mumbai on Saturday.

While the police say 25-year-old Suchita Anand committed suicide, her family says dowry harassment led to her death.

The Mumbai Police have gone ahead and registered a case of suicide. However, her parents allege that she was harassed by her in-laws.

Her mother refuses to believe that her daughter could have ended her life out of desperation.

Her father, R K Anand says, "Usse bahut marte the. Head injury bhi hui thi." (They used to beat her up. She even had a injury once because of the the beatings.")

Suchita was a resident of Delhi and had been married for the last five years. There is even a case of dowry harassment registered against her husband and in-laws in the Amar Colony police station in South Delhi.

However, Neither the Delhi Police nor the Mumbai Police have made any arrests so far.
