Priyakumari Singh (21), who had tied knot with Pawan in December last year, hanged herself last night from the ceiling fan using a dupatta at her flat in Evershine Complex in suburban Andheri, senior inspector at Amboli police station Ramesh Khadtare said.
Priya was found hanging at about 3 AM today by her sister, who was at Priya's home along with her husband and son, he said.
"The reason behind her taking the extreme step is not clear yet. Her family says she did not manifest any signs of depression. After spotting Priya hanging, the other family members informed Pawan, who had gone out. Pawan then rushed back home after getting the news," he said.
