A 21-year-old newly married woman was found dead on Sunday under suspicious circumstances at her residence in Madhopur Bujurg village under the Tamkuhiraj police station area, police said.

Investigation Launched Into Suspicious Death

Her body was found hanging from a ceiling fan at around 7 pm and sent for post-mortem examination.

 

The deceased has been identified as Ranju Devi, a native of Bathua Bazar in neighbouring Bihar.

She was married about a year ago to Nitesh Giri, a resident of the same village.

Circle Officer (Tamkuhiraj) Jayant Kumar said that further action would be taken based on the post-mortem report.

The circumstances surrounding her death are being probed, police noted.

The police will likely interview family members and neighbours as part of their investigation, pending the post-mortem results.
