New Delhi, June 23

Two sisters in their 20s allegedly committed suicide in outer Delhi's Rohini area, police said today. 

Police sources said the two women, Seema (26) and Parul (20), were reportedly depressed over the death of their parents a few years ago. 

"We received a call on Wednesday afternoon about the incident. Two sisters committed suicide by hanging themselves from the ceiling fan after locking themselves in a room," said an officer.

"They might have been depressed due to the death of their parents three to four years ago, and it might be one of the reasons for the extreme step," said the officer.

The women were staying with their elder brother and sister-in-law here. 

"Seema worked as a teacher in a nearby school while Parul was pursuing her studies," said the officer.

No suicide note has been recovered from the spot, another police officer said, adding, "We don't suspect a foul play in the incident."
