Gorai housewife ends life at home

MUMBAI: A 22-year-old housewife hanged herself to death from the ceiling fan of her Gorai residence on Wednesday. Reshma Shinde left behind a suicide note in which she held no one responsible for her death.

On Wednesday afternoon, Reshma was alone at home, with Prashant (28) and her father-in-law, Shrirang (51), away at work and her mother-in-law, Shakuntala (50), along with her child, gone to market.
“Around 1.15pm, when Reshma did not respond to the doorbell, Shakuntala called a few neighbours who broke the door open. They found her hanging from her bedroom fan,” the police said. “At Bhagwati Hospital, she was declared dead.”
In the note, Reshma said she was “tired of her life”. She added she had taken the step of her own accord. The MHB police recorded the statements of Reshma’s inlaws, parents and neighbours. “Reshma’s father, Sitaram Mane (57), told us that he did not suspect foul play,” the police said. “Mane also said Reshma had never complained of harassment or any marital problem.”
