Fed up with her husband's taunt for having daughters, a 28-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide in Kherla village, police said on Thursday.
The woman was identified as Krishna, a native of Panhera Khurd village in Haryana's Faridabad.
According to the police, Krishna married to one Baljeet, a resident of the same village, in 2015, was found dead on Wednesday. They both had three daughters. Bheem, Krishna's brother, has accused his brother-in-law of abetment to suicide.
