INSTEAD OF GOING WITH HUSBAND, WOMAN KILLS SELF WITH PARAMOUR

A 20-year-old woman committed suicide, along with her 18-year-old paramour, by jumping into a water tank at Singodiya village under Gida police station in Barmer district on Saturday night, police said.

The wowan, Tugi Devi Meghwal, was married to Narpatram Meghwal, resident of Ranigaun, 10 months ago. She had come to visit her maternal house at Singodiya village about two weeks ago.

On Saturday, when her husband came to take her back, Devi’s father asked her son-inlaw to stay for a night, citing that it was inauspicious to send off daughters on Saturday.
