Earlier on Thursday, a 34-year-old woman died by suicide after her husband refused to let her go to a beauty parlour in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district, the police said.
The incident occurred under Aerodrome police station limits in the city on Thursday. The woman was identified as Reena Yadav, a resident of Scheme-51.
Investigating officer Uma Shankar Yadav said that the woman was married to Balram Yadav about 15 years ago.
On Thursday, she asked Balram to go to the beauty parlour but he refused. "Following this, Reena ended her life by hanging from the ceiling. When Balram came home, he found her hanging and informed the police about the matter," the officer said.
