Woman dies by suicide after kidnapping of 4-month-old son

A woman committed suicide by consuming poison after her four-month-old child was kidnapped by a friend in Faridabad. The police acted swiftly in the matter and recovered the child by arresting the accused. He has been sent to remand after he was produced in a city court.

The deceased has been identified as Meenakshi, who lived with her husband, Himanshu, and two sons in Faridabad. Her friend Subhash would come to their house every day to meet them. Subhash had come to meet Meenakshi on Tuesday, when she told him that she would never meet him in future as her husband did not like it, following which, Subhash got furious and ran away with her son.

She informed her husband about the incident, who approached the police. A police team also reached the spot.

“She was so saddened by the incident that she consumed poison and died during treatment. We traced the accused’s phone and held him in UP,” said SHO Inspector Prahlad Singh. — OC
