Bihar Woman Dies By Suicide After Killing Her 3 Children, Say Cops

A woman allegedly died by suicide after killing her three kids in the Magra area of Bihar's Gaya district, police said.

"A woman named Malti Devi and her three children were found dead on Saturday in the Magra police station area of Gaya," Himanshu, City Superintendent of Police (SP) said.

According to SP Himanshu, the woman had first hanged her children and then allegedly died by suicide herself.

"The police recorded the matter and the bodies have been sent to the district hospital for post-mortem examination," he added.

He said that in the preliminary investigation, a case of harassment by the husband has come to the fore.

"Malti Devi's relatives have accused her husband of domestic tension due to which she committed suicide," he said.

Moreover, the police had arrested the husband and further investigation is underway.

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.
