Tragic Suicide of Young Aspiring Model Following Husband's Hurtful Remark
A 23-year-old Indian woman, Tannu Singh, an aspiring model, has allegedly died by suicide after being deeply hurt by a derogatory remark made by her husband in front of her sister, according to police reports. The heartbreaking incident occurred at her residence in Indiranagar's Takrohi area last Wednesday, as reported by the Times of India.
Details of the Distressing Incident
The woman reportedly took the extreme step after her husband, Rahul Srivastava, allegedly called her a "monkey" during a moment of joking, which left her emotionally distressed and overwhelmed. The deceased had married Rahul, a resident of Takrohi, about four years ago following a love relationship. Rahul works as an auto-rickshaw driver, while Tannu was actively learning modelling, with the couple living together in Indiranagar.
Sequence of Events Leading to the Tragedy
According to information shared by the husband, the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when Rahul, Tannu, her sister Anjali, and their son Abhay were at home. During what was described as light-hearted banter, Rahul, along with Anjali, allegedly mocked Tannu and referred to her as a "monkey." The remark reportedly hurt Tannu deeply, following which she left the room without saying anything, indicating her severe emotional turmoil.
Rahul then stepped out to bring food. After returning, he asked Anjali to call Tannu. When Anjali went to the room, she found it locked from inside. Despite repeated calls, there was no response. She then looked through a window and saw Tannu hanging from the ceiling, a scene that left her in shock and prompted her to scream for help.
Immediate Aftermath and Police Response
Hearing the cries, Rahul and neighbours rushed to the spot. With the help of locals, Tannu was taken down from the noose and rushed to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. The post-mortem report confirmed hanging as the cause of death, providing a grim conclusion to this tragic event.
Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Ghazipur (Indiranagar) Anindya Vikram Singh said he had no immediate information about the incident. "We got information about the suicide from the locals but no information was received at the police station," he stated. Police indicated that further action would be taken after examining the post-mortem report and recording statements of the family members, as part of the ongoing investigation into this distressing case.
