A 26-year-old married woman, identified as Sujata, was found dead under suspicious circumstances in a room at her home in Garhi Bhagat village, in the jurisdiction of Sadabad Kotwali in Hathras district. Her body was found hanging from a noose made with a dupatta and tied to a window.

According to the information available, Sujata had posted a story on the social media platform Instagram before the incident. The story reportedly carried the words, “आज के बाद मेरा चेहरा तुम नहीं देख पाओगे।” Her husband, Ravi, said he saw the story and tried calling her several times, but she did not answer any of the calls.

Ravi told police that he works as a security guard at the Char Dham temple in Vrindavan. He had vacated his rented room in Vrindavan a few days earlier and returned to the village. Sunday was his first day back at work.

According to Ravi, Sujata applied tilak on his forehead at around six in the morning and touched his feet before he left for duty. After that, he left for his job.

Ravi said that, apart from their house, the family also has a plot. His mother was present at the plot at the time. During this period, his maternal uncle’s son arrived to deliver a wedding invitation. After this, his mother had a phone call made to Sujata and asked her to come to the plot as well.

When Sujata did not answer the phone and gave no response despite repeated calls, the family became worried. Family members then went to the house to check on her.

When they reached the house, both doors of the room were found bolted from the inside. The family members looked inside and found Sujata’s body hanging from the window with the help of a dupatta. The sight caused panic in the family, and people began crying out. The police were informed about the incident.

Ravi said that Sujata had posted the Instagram story before the incident. He said that after seeing the story, he called her several times, but she did not receive the calls. The exact reason for the woman’s death remains unclear.

After reaching the spot, the police inspected the scene and sent the body for post-mortem. Police are investigating the case. The circumstances of the death are expected to become clear after the post-mortem report and the completion of the investigation.
