A 27-year-old married woman was found hanging at her in-laws' place in a village under the Campierganj police station area of this district, police on Wednesday said.
A case has been lodged in connection with the incident and further investigation is on, they said.
"One Jyoti Devi was found hanging at her in-laws place on Monday night. We registered a case regarding the matter against the in-laws on Tuesday night," Station House Officer (SHO) Rajkumar Arora said.
