Rinku Sachdeva Dies Again Online
Rinku Sachdeva was allegedly suffocated to death by a pillow. Thereafter Amit Budhiraja allegedly hung himself to death. She was a Scorpio and he a Leo. She was from Mumbai and he a Delhiite. She was an outgoing Sikhni and he a Punjabi boy.
Their marriage was doomed from the beginning. He wanted perfection in love and she - who knows what she wanted. She is dead and he allegedly killed her. He claimed she had an affair but who knows?
In the online world, she has been tried and found guilty. They believe she was a promiscuous c$%#*& who deserved what came to her. They have murdered her again - believed his six page rant verbatim, where he alleged her ongoing affair, that her immoral potential blackmail of 498a drove him to kill her and commit suicide on a Holi night.
All of this is his side of the story but what was her side of the story? Does any one care? Was he an obsessive, conservative, insanely jealous man, blaming his marital troubles on platonic friends?
Could that not be her version? How are we to know? Even if she did fall for someone else, was that reason enough to kill?
Crime of passion or pre-meditated murder - no one deserves to die when it comes to matters of the heart.
Two young lives snuffed, grieving families left behind and plenty of fodder left for the online world to moralize, pontificate and deride.

The incident is really sad. But this is just an indicator of how tough relationships can be. And it really takes a lot of understanding and affection from both sides to develop any relation. I am not blaming anybody but i read one news which said Rinku used to stay in a different bedroom than Amit. whatever may be the circumstances, if one is trying to break the basic tenets of his/her marriage, then that is surely not a good sign. In today’s world of stress and fast life, if you take time to understand each other then a lot of things can be worked out. otherwise you never know, life comes at you fast. Anyways, let both there souls rest in peace.

I am shocked by the terrible tragedy, but I am even more shocked by the comments of some people, justifying the murder. Nothing can justify the taking of anybody's life. So what if the couple was drifting apart? They could have gone their separate ways-- both were young and could have moved on in life. This might have been a case of extreme jealousy, rage or obsession. No normal person would go to this extent. Speaking from personal experience, I feel that the Indian male and his mother seem to think they own the wife and daughter-in-law .I am speaking in general,because of the shocking views expressed by so many women that what this boy did was actually right. My advice to anybody is, put yourself in their parents' place before passing atrocious comments .

Geetha, the comments are getting from bad to worse. What irks these a-holes is that there are people willing to refute their hideous animalistic views and show them how sick their mentality really is.
