A 28-year-old “barren” woman allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a fan on Thursday morning at her residence in south-east Delhi’s Govindpuri area.

DCP Chinmoy Biswal said the deceased, Rajni, left a suicide note mentioning that “being barren” was the reason she was ending her life.

“The incident was reported around 7 a.m. from Jawat Society in Tughlakabad village by her husband Sandeep. He told police that when he went to the room in the morning he found Rajni had hung herself with a stole from a fan,” said the DCP. He informed that Sandeep worked for Delhi Metro. Rajni was taken to a nearby hospital where she was declared brought dead. Her body was sent for post mortem.

As the couple had been married for less than seven years, the DCP said Sandeep’s statement was recorded in front of an executive magistrate and case was registered under Section 498A and 304B of Indian Penal Code.

Meanwhile, Rajni’s father Balu Ram told police that; “his daughter was victim of domestic violence. She was tortured, harassed and forced to get money from her parents. As she was unable to conceive a child, her in-laws often used to beat her and taunt her,” police said.
