    Salamatpur, in the Raisen district, was Sangeeta's parent's home six years before to her marriage to Ranjeet Yadav. The family's occupation is farming, but Ranjeet Yadav also runs a small business.

    Five messages explaining her emotional and physical hardships were written by Sangeeta to her brother Neeraj and sister-in-law Mona before she took her own life.

    "Your brother says that he has nothing to do with daughters and wants a boy, so I have killed all three of my daughters, and I'm killing myself," she said in one letter to her sister-in-law, expressing her husband's wish for a son.

    Additional inquiries are being carried out by the police in relation to the case of assisted suicide.
