  "summary": "A 30-year-old assistant section officer with the Ministry of Defence, Nazia Khanam, was found dead at her home in Delhi's Dwarka area on August 21, according to the Delhi Police. Her family has alleged that her husband, Mohd Azam Ali Khan, and in-laws had been harassing her. Nazia was three months pregnant at the time of her death. The police registered a case under charges of cruelty by a husband or relative and abetment of suicide. The police team reached the scene soon after receiving a call about an alleged suicide at 4:21 pm on August 21. Nazia's parents approached the SDM with a complaint alleging wrongdoing by her husband and other members of her matrimonial family, leading to the registration of the case. Further action will depend on the evidence and facts that emerge during the investigation.",
