The Painful Truth: Teacher's Life as a "Working Maid"

Final Words of a Teacher: A Story of Struggle and Loss

​Anvita Sharma, a 29-year-old teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Delhi, was found dead in her Ghaziabad home on March 16, 2025, in an apparent suicide. Prior to her death, she sent a WhatsApp message to her family detailing the emotional abuse she endured from her husband, Gaurav Kaushik, and his family.

She expressed feeling valued only as a “working maid,” with her husband constantly criticizing her and her in-laws making continuous dowry demands. In her final message, she wrote, “I have prepared food, Gaurav Kaushik, please eat it.”

Anvita’s father, Anil Sharma, reported that he had paid ₹26 lakh and provided a car as dowry during the marriage. Despite this, Anvita faced ongoing harassment, with her in-laws taking control of her salary, checkbook, and ATM cards.

Following her death, Gaurav Kaushik and his father were arrested, while her mother-in-law remains at large.
