ARA-----------------------Shock and grief gripped the Purani Adalat Padav neighborhood under the Town police station jurisdiction on Tuesday morning after a 32-year-old woman was found dead, hanging from a ceiling fan inside her residence. Family members attribute the incident to suicide following a domestic dispute.

The deceased has been identified as Lakshmi Devi (32), wife of Arjun Kumar, a resident of Ward No. 7 in the Purani Adalat Padav area.

According to the deceased's husband, Arjun Kumar, Lakshmi Devi had been suffering from migraine, which frequently led to minor arguments and temper outbursts over trivial matters.

On Monday, when Arjun's mother asked Lakshmi to clean an upstairs room, she refused, sparking an argument between the couple, followed by a minor altercation involving his mother.

After dinner on Monday night, the family members retired to their respective rooms. On Tuesday morning, after Arjun left for work and his mother went out, Lakshmi allegedly tied a saree to the ceiling fan and hanged herself.

The incident came to light when her younger son discovered her body hanging from the fan and raised an alarm, prompting family members and neighbors to rush to the scene.

The family immediately transported her to the Sadar Hospital, where attending doctors declared her brought dead. Local police were subsequently informed, took possession of the body, and sent it for a formal post-mortem examination at the Sadar Hospital.

Police confirmed that the couple was married in 2018 and has two sons, Aryan and Saransh. A preliminary probe into the suicide claim is underway as authorities continue their investigation from all angles.
