UP woman dies by suicide after mother objects to phone calls with fiance

A tragic incident has been reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambi district, where an 18-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide after being stopped by her mother from speaking to her fiance.

According to information, Munna Saroj had fixed the marriage of his daughter, Laxmi Saroj, which was scheduled for November this year. Laxmi was reportedly in regular phone contact with her fiance.

Family members said her mother objected to these conversations and asked her to stop. Upset over the restriction, Laxmi allegedly hanged herself inside the house. Her family members found her hanging, triggering chaos in the household.

According to police, the family was attempting to carry out the last rites in haste, allegedly out of fear of police action. However, upon receiving information, a police team reached the spot, took custody of the body and sent it for post-mortem.

Police officer Satendra Tiwari, confirmed that the woman died by suicide by hanging. “The family was taking the body for last rites. On receiving information, police reached the spot, took custody of the body and sent it for post-mortem. Further necessary action is being taken,” he said.

Police said an investigation into the circumstances leading to the death is underway.

DELHI TEEN SUCCUMBS AFTER STABBING ATTACK

A 16-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries on Saturday morning after being brutally stabbed in northeast Delhi’s Seemapuri area, with police later finding the accused dead at his residence in a suspected case of suicide.

According to police, a PCR call was received on Friday reporting that a girl was lying unconscious with multiple stab injuries in Old Seemapuri. Responding teams reached the spot and learnt that the victim had already been shifted to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, where she later died during treatment on Saturday.

The victim, a Class 10 student, had stepped out to a nearby market to buy medicine when she encountered the accused, identified as Jatin. Police said he allegedly attacked her repeatedly with a knife before fleeing the scene. Despite her injuries, the girl reportedly managed to use a passerby’s phone to call her mother and inform her about the assault.

Police registered a case of attempted murder based on the medico-legal case and evidence from the crime scene. Following the girl’s death, the case has now been converted into murder.
