Hamirpur, June 23 (IANS) In a shocking incident, a woman allegedly poisoned her two minor sons to death and then committed suicide after a fight with her brother in Muskara in the Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh.
According to the family members, Mohini, 26, had a love marriage against the wishes of her family, but was presently living separately from her husband.
Recently, following a fight, her brother had rebuked her and asked her to go back to her husband’s place.
On Saturday evening, she forcibly fed eatables laced with poison to both her sons and then committed suicide by consuming the same.
Police, on being informed, rushed to the spot and shifted all three bodies to the mortuary for post-mortem examination.
Her family members said that Mohini had a love marriage with Hemant, a resident of Kachhuwa village in the Rath area, ten years ago.
“It came to fore that due to frequent disputes between the husband and wife, she had been staying in Noida for the last two years with her two children Gautam, 5, and Harsh, 3, and was earning her living by working as a daily-wager. Last week, she came to her parents’ house in Bandwa from Noida,” the family members said.
After coming to her maternal home, she had a fight with her brother Golu who asked her to leave the house and go back to her husband’s place.
On Saturday evening, she told her mother and other siblings that she was going to Noida with her two children but instead of going to Noida, she along with her children committed suicide by consuming poison near the premises of Bank of Baroda in the area.
Police station in-charge Shashi Pandey said, “The matter is being investigated thoroughly. Action will be taken against the culprits on the basis of a complaint and autopsy report.”
