Woman found hanging at home in east Delhi; suicide suspected

New Delhi, Sep 21 (PTI) A 32-year-old woman was found hanging at her residence in east Delhi's Ghazipur with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, officials said on Sunday.

According to police, a PCR call was received on September 17 about a suspected suicide at Rajbir Colony in Gharoli Extension.

A police team rushed to the spot and found the woman hanging from a ceiling fan with a saree inside a locked room.

“The door was forcibly opened and the woman was immediately taken to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, where doctors declared her dead,” a senior police officer said.

The deceased has been identified as Chandani Devi from Motihari in Bihar, a mother of three children, the officer said.

So far no complaint has been received from her family members, he added.

The role of her family members or any other possible factor will be looked into if a complaint is received, the officer said. PTI BM ARI
