A 21-year-old girl from Kalyan (East) died by suicide after, allegedly, being betrayed by her boyfriend of three years. The police filed an abetment case against the man after learning that the deceased woman, who worked for an airline, sent a WhatsApp text to her friend days ago, saying that she will end her life because her lover married another, reports Mumbai Mirror.
The deceased, Supriya's father R.J. Gazbe and wife had left home for some time thinking that their daughter was resting upstairs. They came back home to her daughter hanging from the ceiling fan. She had used a dupatta to make a noose.
"Gazbe returned at around 2.30 pm and realised his son was not home. He had lunch assuming that Supriya was on the mezzanine floor resting. An hour later, Gazbe went upstairs and found his daughter hanging from the ceiling fan. She used her dupatta to commit suicide," an official at the Mahatma Phule station chowk said.
