The neighbours found her hanging and brought her down. She was rushed to hospital but was declared brought dead. Babita’s husband Gokul Rajput, 30, had gone to work when she committed suicide. Gokul Rajput is a centering contractor. He had left home early in morning, leaving wife Babita, and son, Karan. “The couple was married 5 years ago,” said a police official. “It is not clear what prompted her to end life. We suspect domestic issues could be at the root.”
