Two persons commit suicide

Two persons allegedly committed suicide in suburban Govandi in separate incidents today, the police said.

While Salman Saiyad (17) hanged himself at his residence in Shivaji Nagar, Poonam Jaiswal hanged herself to a ceiling fan at her house in Nirankar Colony in the same locality, a police official said.

Saiyad participated in the Dahihandi festival last night.

According to the official, Jaiswal, who was married for a year, was undergoing treatment for an illness.

In a suicide note purportedly written by her, Jaiswal said nobody should be held responsible for her death.

The Govandi Police have registered cases of accidental death in both the incidents.
