A 22-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide at Chiloi village in Chatra district on Monday, with police citing stress related to her relationship as the probable cause. The tragic incident has left the community in shock and prompted a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Details of the Tragic Incident
Lalita Kumari, daughter of Kailash Ganjhu, consumed pesticide at her residence in what appears to be a desperate act. Family members immediately rushed her to a nearby health center upon discovering the situation. However, her condition deteriorated rapidly during the journey to the hospital.
