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.
