Double suicide: Child’s father traced

Noida: The husband of the 21-year-old woman, who was found hanging along with her “childhood lover” in a rented house in Sector 51 on Saturday, has been traced and he will be handed over her eight-month-old daughter, police said. The baby is currently recovering at a hospital in Noida.
TOI had reported on Sunday that the couple were found hanging in their rented accommodation and the woman’s eight-month-old daughter was found crying on the floor.
“The woman’s husband, a farmer from Bihar’s Siwan district, told us that he gave a missing person’s complaint to Bihar Police on July 6, the day she went missing taking the child along. The duo reached Noida on July 7. The husband told us the duo was having an affair since childhood,” Sector 49 SHO Dharmendra Sharma said.
Meanwhile, it has now come to fore that the bodies were apparently at least four days old and the child had been starving all through, resulting in her condition deteriorating and necessitating her treatment in an intensive care unit.
Satya Prakash, manager of FXB India-Suraksha, which handles Childline for Noida, said the child will be handed over to the father after the police issues a ‘no-objection’ certificate to the father in the case.
