Depressed for not having a son, a 33-year old woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 10th floor of a residential building in Rajasthan's Alwar, police said on Sunday.
Meena Bai lived on the second floor of the building with her husband and two daughters, police said, adding that she bolted them inside in their flat before taking the extreme step.
