A 23-year-old woman allegedly strangulated her 4-year-old daughter and died by suicide on Monday after an argument with her husband in Maharashtra's Palghar district. According to a report by PTI, the incident took place after the woman’s husband, who works as a fisherman and is usually away from the family, returned home on Sunday and went out with his friends.

The couple quarrelled over the issue as she wanted him to take her out as well. A day later, the woman allegedly killed her daughter and then hanged herself inside their house.

The incident took place at Sisne village in the Dahanu area and police reached the spot after neighbours alerted them. The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem exam.

Woman Jumps To Death After Husband Hangs Himself

In another incident, a 28-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide after getting to know that her husband had hanged himself in a hotel room in Varanasi.

A report by PTI said the police identified the deceased as Harish Bagesh and Sanchita Sharan, both 28. The couple, who were earlier based in Mumbai, moved to Gorakhpur in February to live with Sanchita's father Dr Ram Sharan, who told the police that Bagesh's parents, based in Patna, had not accepted the marriage.

On Friday, Bagesh told Sanchita that he was going to Patna and she dropped him at the railway station the next day. The couple last spoke on Saturday evening.

On Sunday morning, police informed the family that Bagesh was found hanging in a hotel room at Sarnath in Varanasi. After hearing this news, Sanchita jumped from the second storey of a building. The bodies were sent for autopsy and police are investigating the reasons behind Bagesh's visit to Sarnath and his suicide.
