Скачать или смотреть S*icide or Mu*d*r? Bengaluru’s Latest Dowry Case: Real Crime Story

The heartbreaking case of Shilpa Panchangamatha, a 27-year-old former Infosys software engineer, has shocked Bengaluru.

Found de*d in her BTM Layout home on August 26, 2025, Shilpa was 1.5 months pregnant with her second child. Her family alleges relentless dowry harassment by her husband, Praveen, a former Oracle engineer turned pani puri vendor, and his mother, Shantavva.

Despite Shilpa’s family spending ₹30–40 lakh on the wedding, including 150 grams of gold and household items, the demands for more money persisted, including ₹5 lakh for Praveen’s business. Shilpa’s mother and sister claim she faced mental and physical abuse, including body shaming. Initially reported as a heart attack, her death was later claimed as suicide, but suspicious circumstances—like no chair under the fan and an open gate—have led her family to allege murder.

This case, under investigation by Bengaluru police, raises questions about dowry culture, societal pressures, and parental responsibility. Why do families yield to dowry demands?

Why does society stigmatize divorce but normalize harassment? Join us as we explore Shilpa’s story, the ongoing probe, and the fight against dowry-related violence in India.
