‘Intolerance’ costs woman’s life

November 27, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 08:07 am IST - Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh):

A woman allegedly committed suicide in Ukhari area of Jabalpur district on Thursday after heated exchanges with her husband over the issue of “intolerance”, the police said.

Sonam Pandey had a quarrel with her husband Ayank on the issue before she consumed poison and took her own life.

Mr Ayank told reporters that the couple had a heated discussion on the issue of “intolerance” after reading Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s statement in a morning newspaper.

He said Sonam later went to her room. After some time, he claimed, he forced her room’s door open and saw her drinking lots of water and complaining of dizziness.

She was taken to a hospital, where she died.

Kotwali police station chief Praful Srivastava said the police were investigating the incident.
