A 36-year-old woman from Govandi, Kusum Kamruddin Sonawane, took her own life after continuous physical and mental abuse from her alcoholic husband, according to local police. The incident occurred on October 31, and the woman was found hanging at her residence. Her 28-year-old husband, Azharuddin Mohammad Shami Shah, has been booked for abetment to suicide in connection with the case.
The couple lived in Shivaji Nagar with Kusum's 11-year-old son. The FIR lodged by Kusum's younger sister, Fakira, revealed that Azharuddin had frequently escalated fights over minor issues and developed a severe alcohol addiction, which led to frequent domestic abuse. Despite repeated interventions by family members and counselors, the accused resumed the abuse. Exhausted by the ongoing harassment, Kusum hanged herself around 5 pm on October 31.
