Five days after her boyfriend killed himself, an 18-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in the Bakhtawarpur area of Rohini on Sunday, police said.

The woman left a suicide note, in which she said no one was responsible for her death and it was her decision to kill herself, they added.

The woman was found hanging inside her house. Her family told the police that five days ago, a 24-year-old man, whom she wanted to marry, had killed himself and she was upset due to it.
