He Beat Me 'Like A Devil', Delhi Model Wrote In Suicide Note

New Delhi: In her suicide note, a 25-year-old in Delhi wrote that her husband used to beat her “like a devil”. Priyanka Kapoor, a former model, was found on Saturday hanging from a fan in the apartment she shared with her husband in South Delhi's Defence Colony.

Ms Kapoor's husband Nitin Chawla, a businessman, has been arrested on charges of dowry harassment. The couple married just a month ago.

The night of Holi, the former model's mother was unable to reach her on the phone. Ms Kapoor's family then phoned the police. Investigators broke open the front door and found Ms Kapoor's body. They later arrested her husband.
 Her two-page suicide note alleges regular harassment for dowry and physical assault.  “I have known grief, I have known happiness...sadness and emotions...but my husband made me helpless for the first time,” she wrote.

Ms Kapoor, who also ran an event management company, was Mr Chawla's second wife. The couple had met last April.

Ms Kapoor's family alleges that Mr Chawla was very possessive and had started assaulting her almost immediately after their marriage.
