Ayodhya (UP), April 10 A 26-year-old woman allegedly killed her husband and committed suicide by jumping in front of a train, leaving behind her newborn child who also died during treatment, following a domestic dispute here on Friday morning, police said.
The incident took place in the village of Gareru when a dispute broke out between Sanju (26) and her husband Shiva (27), and in a fit of rage, Sanju struck her husband on the head with a hammer, killing him, they said.
To conceal the crime, she locked her husband's body and her 22-day-old infant in the room, and then went to the Devrakot railway track where she jumped in front of a train and died, they added.
Superintendent of Police (Rural) Balwant Chaudhary said police reached the railway track after receiving information, and upon identifying the woman, they reached her home to find the husband's body and the infant who died during treatment.
A suicide note was recovered from Sanju, which contains allegations of harassment against her husband and in-laws, Chaudhary said.
"No one had imagined that this marriage, which took place just one year ago, would meet such a horrifying end," said Roshan Lal, a resident.
"After the post-mortem examination was conducted, the family cremated the bodies. A thorough investigation into the case is underway," Chaudhary said.
