In Mathura, UP, a 26-year-old woman committed suicide by hanging herself. The woman from Himachal Pradesh, who worked in an engineering college, allegedly hanged herself in her room, police said.
Station House Officer (SHO) of Kotwali Police Station, Ravi Tyagi, said that Shalini Mahajan, a resident of Dehra village in Bilaspur district, had come to Mathura on December 20 last year in search of a job. He got a job in a local engineering college a few days ago.
The police officer said that she was supposed to take charge on Saturday, but when she did not reach the college on time, the college administration tried to contact her. The SHO said that the college staff traced the place where Mahajan was staying and when they found her room locked from inside, they informed the police.
The SHO said, ‘We broke the door and saw that the woman was hanging from the ceiling fan with a noose made of a piece of cloth.’ The officer said that Mahajan’s body has been sent for post-mortem. It is not yet clear why the woman committed suicide. The police has started the investigation.
