Nagpur: Crying 5-year-old holds on to hanging mother

NAGPUR: A five-year-old boy whose mother Jyoti Kalbande had hanged herself to death at their residence in Savitribai Phule Nagar early on Thursday, started crying, holding her legs after waking up from sleep, as rest of the family was unaware of the incident till then.
It was the son’s howling that had startled his father Prafulla, a driver, who too was stunned by the sight. Police said the family is clueless so far over Jyoti’s decision to end her life. Jyoti’s parents, who are in Delhi, were also taken aback by the incident.
Police said no suicide note was found. Jyoti had cooked food for the family and also offered them sweet dish as part of the dinner. It’s not yet clear as to what drove her to end life as rest of the family slept. Ajni police have registered a case of accidental death.
