Woman, daughter end life after son's secret marriage in Delhi
A woman and her daughter from Shahzadpur village in Bijnor district, Usha Devi (50) and her daughter Swati (21), allegedly took their own lives after emotional distress following a secret marriage by the woman's son. The incident occurred two days after they went missing, and their bodies were found in a field on Saturday morning.
The family's shock stemmed from 23-year-old Gaurav Kumar's recent marriage to his girlfriend in Delhi, despite a pre-arranged marriage planned by the family. Gaurav's social media post of him placing a mangalsutra on his bride's neck reportedly disturbed his mother and sister. After leaving home on Thursday, the two women were found dead in a field by local women gathering fodder.
The bodies have been sent for postmortem to confirm the cause of death.
