The 30-year-old woman, who had consumed some poisonous substance around noon, was rushed to Harishchandra Hospital in Narela by her neighbours and acquaintances, police officials said.

She was shifted to Lok Nayak Hospital, where doctors declared her dead at 8.30 in the evening.

According to police officials, in June this year, the woman had lodged a complaint against a local party official for allegedly verbally abusing her. An FIR was registered on her complaint.

Reacting to the news, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay expressed grief over this “unnatural death”.

“It may be recalled this girl had been raising issue of her harassment for months but AAP leaders ignored. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and local MLA Sharad Chauhan are responsible for her death. This incident has established anti woman character of AAP,” Upadhyay said.

When contacted, AAP media coordinator Deepak Bajpayi said, “This is an unfortunate incident and one should not indulge in politics over it. I have just heard about the incident.”
