Marital Dispute Ends in Tragedy in Kanpur: Woman Hangs Self, Husband Critical After Poisoning
In a heartbreaking incident in the Senpashchim Para police station area of Kanpur, a marital dispute escalated into a devastating tragedy on Tuesday night. A woman, identified as Prinshi, 25, hanged herself, while her husband, Kishan Nishad, consumed a poisonous substance and was rushed to LLR Hospital in critical condition.
Background of the Couple and Family Accusations
Prinshi, daughter of Ganga Nishad from Kadaura Ikauna in Jalaun district, had been married to Kishan Nishad for six years. Kishan, originally from Hamirpur district, was living on rent in Gopal Nagar with Prinshi. The couple had two young daughters, Kavya and Lavi.
According to family members, the marriage was marred by frequent disputes and conflicts. Prinshi's father, Ganga Nishad, had previously filed a report against Kishan, accusing him and his in-laws of harassment and mistreatment. The family alleged that ongoing tensions and domestic issues had created a volatile environment in the household.

Late on Tuesday evening, another heated argument erupted between Prinshi and Kishan. In the aftermath of this altercation, Prinshi tragically took her own life by hanging herself. Upon discovering his wife hanging from the noose, Kishan, in a state of distress, consumed a poisonous substance, which rapidly deteriorated his health.
The cries of their two daughters alerted neighbors, who immediately informed the police and family members. Responding to the scene, authorities brought down Prinshi's body and rushed Kishan to LLR Hospital, where he remains in critical condition under medical supervision.
Police Investigation and Official Statements
A postmortem examination conducted through a panel and videography confirmed that Prinshi's death was due to hanging. Prinshi's father has reiterated his accusations, holding Kishan and the in-laws responsible for harassment that he believes led to the suicide.
Pradeep Singh, the in-charge of Senpashchim Para police station, stated that the woman committed suicide following a dispute with her husband. He emphasized that a formal report will be registered based on the written complaint from the family members, and appropriate legal action will be taken as per the investigation findings.
