A 31-year-old doctor in India allegedly committed suicide, accusing her husband of torturing her after she discovered he was gay.
"She had mentioned her husband's sexual orientation in her note. She had written that since she found out about her husband's bisexuality, he would torture and harass her for dowry,” police said.
Dr Priya Vedi, a senior anesthetist at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), wrote a note on her Facebook account and also left a suicide note, claiming that her husband was gay would torture her.
She was found dead with her wrist slit in a hotel room in Delhi , police said.
A failed marriage, breach of trust and her husband's concealment of his sexual orientation have been cited as reasons for her suicide, according to India Today.
"Officials broke open the door and found her lying in a pool of blood on the bed," a police official privy to the investigation said.
"She had slit her writs with a sharp-edged weapon and was lying in unconscious condition. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared her dead," the official added.
Her husband, Kamal Vedi, 34, a dermatologist at the same hospital, was arrested on Sunday on the basis of the suicide note.
Police said Kamal had filed a missing complaint Saturday evening when he was unable to locate his wife.
According to police, the couple tied the knot five years ago and were serving at the AIIMS staff quarters in south Delhi.
Police received information regarding Priya's death during a search operation of several hotels in Paharganj.
"We are investigating the case from all angles and based on the suicide note, we have arrested Kamal from his residence at AIIMS quarters in the afternoon. He has been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code," police said.
Vedi’s last message on Facebook read: "Dr Kamal Vedi, I never wanted anything from you but due to your abnormal sexuality, you thought that I need sex from you. But it's wrong. I just wanted to be with you, accepting you and your sexual orientation because I loved you very much but you never knew importance of this. You are a criminal of my life. Dr Kamal's family is innocent but you are a devil."
