Bhadohi:

A 25-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a train along with her two-year-old daughter after her insistence to go to Gujarat with her husband was not fulfilled, police said.

The woman jumped in front of Bapu Dham Express going from Muzaffarpur to Prayagraj on the railway track behind the Oonjh Police Station taking her two-year-old daughter in her lap due to which both of them died, said SHO Ramakant Yadav.

Virendra Bind, a resident of Suriyava Police Station area (in Bhadohi district), works in Surat city. He came home during Diwali and was preparing to return to work after the festival was over, he added.

Yadav said that his wife Lakshmi Devi (25) wanted to live in Surat with her husband and two-year-old daughter Riyashi. Her husband said that when he takes a room on rent, he will take her along. But his wife was adamant on going along, the SHO said.

After a dispute on this issue, Lakshmi left the house with her daughter and when her husband called and asked where she was going, she told him that she was going to die by getting hit by a train at Suriyava station, he added.

The SHO said that the woman’s husband and family members went to Suriyava to look for her but the woman went in the opposite direction and went behind the Oonjh Police Station boundary and jumped in front of the Bapu Dham Express.

The police have sent the bodies of the deceased for post-mortem examination, he added.

Hyderabad:

A police team was attacked and its vehicle damaged by a mob when it reached a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Bhadohi to control a ruckus at a wedding, officials said on Sunday.

Police have arrested 11 people in connection to the incident that happened during a wedding procession that had come from Chaubepur of Varanasi to Mahjuda village on Saturday, they said.

The mob had surrounded three policemen at the spot who had to flee and a larger team had to be sent to bring the situation under control, they added.

Superintendent of Police Meenakshi Katyayan said that police received information that people from the bride and groom’s side were fighting and creating a ruckus after consuming alcohol.

Police reached the spot and found many people on the road in an inebriated condition. When the police team tried to remove them from the road, they started shouting that the police were beating them, Katyayan said.

The SP said this angered people from both the bride and groom’s side. They attacked the police team and started beating policemen Radheshyam, Vikas and Awadhesh Pathak, she said.

Surrounded by the mob, the three cops tried to flee to save their lives, she said.

The crowd broke the glass of their police response vehicle (PRV) with sticks chased the policemen for some time and pelted stones at them, the officer said.

Meanwhile, a policeman contacted the control room, after which a large number of police forces reached the spot and brought the situation under control.
