A day after the police recorded a 28-year-old housewife’s death as suicide, it has come to light that her ex-lover and his family pushed her to take the extreme step. On February 28, Sahar resident Jaya Mane was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her residence by her husband when he returned home from work.

The husband was clueless as to why his wife decided to end her life, as there had been no altercations between them. But, the next day when his neighbour approached him and revealed the sequence of events that occurred prior to his wife’s death, he got the shock of his life.
