New Delhi:
A man in Ghaziabad died by suicide. His wife heard the news of her husband's death in Delhi after an argument with him and committed suicide, police said. The couple were parents of a one-year-old girl.
The incidents involve Vijay Pratap Chauhan, 32, and his wife Shivani, 28, who lived in the Loni border area of Ghaziabad. According to police, the couple had a history of marital problems.
Vijay and Shivani, who lived in G block of Jawahar Nagar in Ghaziabad, had a heated argument on Friday evening. After the dispute, Shivani left their home and traveled to northeast Delhi. Vijay reportedly called Shivani after she left, allegedly telling her that she would never see him again.
Soon after, Vijay's aunt, Meera, visited his house and discovered his body. He had hanged himself in the house. She immediately informed Shivani about the incident. When Shivani heard the news, she ended her life by hanging herself from an electricity pole near Loni Roundabout in northeast Delhi, about 8 kilometers from their residence.
Ghaziabad police and Delhi police are conducting parallel investigations into the incident. Both bodies were sent for post-mortem examination. No suicide notes were found at either location. A forensic team examined both locations. Police confirmed that there were no external injuries on Shivani's body, apart from the signs of hanging.
