Salem: A 31-year-old woman, whose husband committed suicide seven months ago and left her neck deep in debt, sold her hair for Rs 150, as she needed money to buy food for her children.

On Friday, Prema, the widow of Selvam ran out of money and with her three children, aged five, three and two years, she approached every person she knew and asked for money, a Times of India report read. However, none of her neighbours or relatives helped her.
