A couple in Firozabad ended their lives separately following
an altercation after Karva Chauth, police said on Saturday.
The
deceased have been identified as Pramod Kumar (26), a resident of Dabrai
under Matsena police station limits, and his wife Nisha (24).
According to Sadar area Circle Officer Chanchal Tyagi, the couple had a
fight on Friday night after Karva Chauth. When it escalated, the husband
left the house and jumped in front of a train on Saturday morning,
dying on the spot.
On receiving the news of his death, the wife
consumed a poisonous substance, causing her health to deteriorate. The
family returned home to find Nisha lying unconscious on the ground. They
rushed her to the district hospital for treatment, where doctors
declared her dead, CO Tyagi said.
The CO said both the bodies have
been sent to the district hospital for post-mortem. -- PTI
