A woman, upset over the death of her pet cat, died by suicide after keeping the body of her pet cat for two days. The incident took place two days ago in Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district. 

The 32-year-old woman kept the animal's body close to her for two days, hoping it would come back to life, but when that did not happen, she took the extreme step on the third day and hanged herself.

Pooja, a resident of Hasanpur in Amroha, was married to a man from Delhi around eight years ago. However, the couple got divorced after two years and since then she had been living with her mother Gajra Devi at her paternal house.

Victim Lived With Mother, Adopted A Cat After Divorce

The victim had kept a cat to overcome loneliness, which died Thursday, India Today reported citing her family members. When Pooja's mother asked her to bury the cat, she refused, believing and insisting that it would come back to life.

She held the cat's body close for two days, unwilling to let it go. When her mother and other family members tried to persuade her to bury the animal, she remained adamant.

On Saturday, Pooka locked herself in her room when the cat did not return to life and hanged herself from the ceiling fan. It was only when her mother went to check on her that she found her hanging in the room on the third floor. She screamed in anguish and alerted her neighbours after finding her daughter's body, the report added.

The police was informed about the incident, following which they took the body for a post-mortem examination. Forensic team also collected evidence from the victim's house.
