Man hangs self; woman consumes poison, survives

Wednesday, 08 January 2020 | PNS | Haridwar

A man committed suicide in Pherupur village after which his girlfriend also attempted to commit suicide by consuming poison. The woman has been referred to a higher centre for treatment.

According to the police, the man who committed suicide has been identified as Sawan who was unemployed and lived in Pherupur.  He had an affair with a young woman who is originally from Roorkee but lives in the same village with a relative.

According to the Pathari police station in-charge Sukhpal Singh Mann, the woman had gone to Sawan’s home to meet him on Monday night. After spending some time together, the man committed suicide by hanging himself from a noose while the woman consumed poison.

This was discovered when the man’s father found the room locked in the morning and his son didn’t respond despite the door being knocked repeatedly. 

When he peeped in through a window he saw his son hanging from a noose.

As family members gathered on hearing him shout, they broke the door open and also found the man’s woman friend lying unconscious on the bed. She was sent to the district hospital from where she was referred to a higher centre in a critical condition.

The police did not find any suicide note. The case is being investigated from all angles. The police hope to learn more about the incident after the woman gains consciousness.
