Suspecting her husband of infidelity, a 28-year-old woman ended her life by consuming poison at her residence in Baba Deep Singh Nagar on Tuesday. The Dugri police lodged a first-information report (FIR) against her husband, mother-in law and the husband’s aide.

The accused is a realtor and the complainant added that he had physical relations with an employee.
Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Jagtar Singh, who is investigating the case, said that an FIR under sections 306 and 120 B of Indian Penal Code has been lodged against the accused. A hunt is on for their arrest, he added.
