Friendship, Betrayal and 2.5 million, Karishma of Ghaziabad took her life after being cheated by her own people

A 23-year-old woman from Ghaziabad, Karishma, reportedly took her life following alleged financial betrayal by her friends and family.

The death of a 23-year-old woman named Karishma in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, has sent shockwaves through the community after it was reported that she committed suicide by ingesting poison. Family members rushed her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead despite treatment efforts. The local police have initiated an investigation and sent her body for a post-mortem examination, while also looking into the circumstances surrounding her death, with early reports suggesting that financial disputes played a significant role.

Karishma's father, Pawan Verma, has accused her childhood friend Shivangi, along with her sister-in-law Sapna, a friend named Rahul, and another young man from Delhi, Rahul Jain, of colluding to siphon off around 25 to 30 lakh rupees from Karishma’s bank account. The family alleges that these individuals manipulated Karishma into transferring this money to their accounts under false pretenses. Following her requests to have her money returned, she reportedly faced mental harassment and threats, which contributed to her distress.

This tragic incident highlights the darker side of personal relationships and the potential financial exploitation that can occur within them. It raises significant questions about the protections available for individuals from such betrayals and the psychological impacts of financial fraud, particularly among young adults. The community is left to grapple with the loss and the implications of this betrayal, prompting discussions about trust, friendship, and the risks associated with financial dealings among peers.
