Abandoned, Kolkata woman hangs self in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: A 29-year-old woman, Prity Singh was found hanging in a hotel room near the airport on Sunday morning. Police sources said Prity is based in Kolkata and flew in to meet her husband, Sanjay Singh, who abandoned her a few months ago.
Police sources said Sanjay works with a cell service provider and married Prity Singh about two years ago.
"We found a suicide note from the hotel room. The woman mentioned in the note that her husband had abandoned her at the instance of her in-laws who preferred a working woman as Sanjay's wife," said a senior police official.
Police sources added that the woman also mentioned that she is committing suicide as she is feeling humiliated and her husband and in-laws should be punished after her death.
According to cops, Prity flew from Kokata to Ahmedabad on Saturday and checked in to Hotel Kristien Residency near the airport.
According to police, they learned that Prity left the hotel on Saturday, probably to meet her husband. "She has written in the note that her husband did not listen to her and told her that he cannot stay with her," said a police official.
Police sources said that before going to sleep, Prity called the reception and asked for a wake-up call at about 5.30am, as she had to catch a flight back to Kolkata at 6.30 am.
"The hotel staff gave her the wake-up call but she didn't respond. Later, Sanjay called the hotel and asked them to check the room as Prity was not answering her phone. Hotel staff found her hanging from the ceiling fan when they opened the room," said a police source.
Police officials of Sardarnagar police station said they registered a case of suicide. We are searching for Sanjay and Prity's in-laws. "We have his cell number as he called the hotel in the morning," said a police official.
