A 26-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide after consuming "sindoor" (vermilion) when her husband refused to take her along to Surat where he worked, police said.

Station officer (SO) of Suryava police station, Pradeep Kumar, said. "Vikas Bind, a resident of Danpur village, married Saraswati Devi three years ago. Vikas used to work in Surat district of Gujarat and had come home during the lockdown. "Four days ago, he left for Surat. Saraswati wanted to accompany her husband, but Vikas insisted that she stayed at home and looked after their two-and-half-year-old child," said Kumar.
