Buxar: A 20-year-old woman from Sohni Patti locality in Buxar hanged herself on Sunday after her demand for a mobile phone was not fulfilled. According to police, the woman, identified as Rohini, had refused to eat or drink for two days before the incident.
Rohini lived with her disabled mother and elder brother, who works as an electrician at a private shop. The family’s financial condition was weak, with their father already deceased and their livelihood dependent on the limited income of her brother. Neighbours said the family could not even afford funeral expenses, which were met with the help of local residents.
Police confirmed that the body has been sent for postmortem and an investigation is underway. Preliminary findings suggest the case is one of suicide. Her mother and brother remain in shock.
