Women, two children found hanging in Greater Noida

In a separate incident from Greater Noida, on Thursday, a 35-year-old woman, two of her children were discovered hanging from a railing on their home terrace in Haibatpur village. An Indian express report cited Assistant Commissioner of Police, Central Noida, Diksha Singh, saying, “We were alerted by the hospital where the three were admitted.”

ACP added, “We have not found any suicide note at the spot and there has been no complaint from the woman’s family. Once we receive a written complaint from her relatives, we will initiate action. For now, we have sent the bodies for post-mortem examination. Prima facie, it appears she hanged herself and her two children.”

Police investigation suggest the woman then went to the terrace and her two younger children came after her.
