Ahmedabad: In a heart-wrenching incident, a young woman named Ayesha Arif Khan died by suicide after jumping into Sabarmati. Before taking her life the woman made a video on her mobile saying that she is taking this step of her own free will and nobody has pressurised her for anything.
Ayesha had made a video on her mobile before committing suicide. Making a video, Ayesha said that she takes this step of her own free will. In the video, Ayesha conveyed the message to her father, "I am happy and I want to die in peace, I don't want to fight, I love Arif."
Ayesha also called her husband before committing suicide. Riverfront West police have registered a crime against the woman's husband in the case. The fire brigade's rescue team recovered the wife's body and informed the police. The police have registered a case and started an investigation.
According to the details received, Ayesha was married in the year 2018 to Arif Khan who lives in Rajasthan. After the marriage, Ayesha was harassed by her husband and in-laws over dowry. Ayesha had lodged a complaint against people including her husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law at the Vatva police station and she also filed a case of domestic violence in court. Later, Ayesha started working in the mutual fund department of the bank.
In the video that Ayesha made, she said, "Dear Dad, when will you fight your case? Don't let Ayesha fight because she doesn't want to fight. If Arif wants freedom, then he is free. Let's live our life, this is the opportunity. I am happy, I will meet Allah, I will tell him, where did I go wrong? I got good parents, wonderful friends but something either lacked in me or my fate."
"I have nothing to say now. Understand that the almighty gave me a short life,” she said in her final video.
She further said, " One thing I learnt from this life is that one should never go with unrequited love and some people are so ill-fated that their love is not fulfilled even after their marriage."
Standing near the Sabarmati river, Ayesha said, "This is a lovely river and I hope it absorbs me, Main hawaaon ki tarah hoon; main behna chaahti hoon… Main khush hoon aaj… Mujhe duaon me yaad karna, kya pata jannat mile na mile (I am like the winds; I want to flow… I am happy today… Remember me in your prayers. Don’t know if I will go to heaven or not)”: these were her last words.
