Mandeep Kaur’s death: Consulate expresses grief
THE Indian Consulate in New York City has expressed grief over the death of Mandeep Kaur, an Indian-origin who committed suicide, adding that it will render all kinds of assistance required.
This comes after Kaur, who was tortured at the hands of her husband, allegedly committed suicide on August 3 after she posted an online video where she spoke about years of domestic abuse by her husband Ranjotveer Singh Sandhu and it sparked outrage across India and abroad.
In a tweet, the Consulate wrote, ‘We are deeply saddened by the death of Mandeep Kaur in Queens, New York under most tragic circumstances. We are in touch with the US authorities at the Federal and local level as well as the community. We stand ready to render all assistance.'
Before ending her life, Kaur released a heart-rending video, narrating the excruciatingly painful details of the torture she faced at the hands of her husband following which a massive storm took over social media.
