In a tragic incident, a 29-year-old highly educated Richa Pramod Shriniwar died suspiciously after falling from the 25th floor of a building in Toronto-Canada on June 11 early morning. Satara police registered an offence against hubby and his family members on Friday.
The deceased’s parents alleged that Richa’s highly educated husband was frequently harassing, abusing, physically beating and ill-treating her for a long time. They suspected her death.
Acting upon the complaint lodged by the deceased’s father the police booked her husband Piyush Deepak Narlawar and his family members holding them responsible for the death of Richa.
It may be noted that a law student Richa and her family members were staying in the vicinity of Itkheda. She was married to Chandrapur’s Piyush in January 2021. An employee of TCS, Piyush was sent to Toronto in February 2022.
Earlier, Piyush insisted on pre-wedding shooting and also demanded 15 tolas of gold if they wish to solemnise the marriage. Later on, Piyush and Richa went abroad, but the former was against sending Richa back to India after marriage. He told his in-laws to send the charges for air tickets. The accused hubby also demanded two tolas of gold as a gift during the first Diwali. Richa’s father fulfilled all the demands made by Piyush in the hope that his daughter’s marital life does not get affected and run smoothly.
Ruckus during marriage function
In September, Richa had come to attend a marriage function, in the city. At that time, Piyush created a ruckus saying why Richa spoke to her brother’s friend. He abused and even beat her in front of everyone on the occasion.

Shocking news by hubby
Piyush surprised his in-laws by making a phone call to them on June 11 at 6 am saying that Richa has committed suicide. Shriniwar family sustained a grave shock. Later on, they learnt about the love affairs of Piyush.
