THANE: A 34-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide after consuming rat poison following a domestic dispute with her husband in Bhiwandi city of Thane district, police said on Wednesday, adding that statements of her in-laws are being recorded.
Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and launched an investigation, an official said.
The deceased, identified as Amruta Ajay Pimplekar, and her husband reportedly used to quarrel frequently over domestic issues. Following one such heated argument on May 8, she allegedly consumed rat poison at her residence. She later succumbed during treatment on May 13, police said.
“Since the initial medical admission and subsequent death occurred under their jurisdiction, the Agripada police in Mumbai initially registered the case. It has now been formally transferred to us for further investigation, as the incident took place within our jurisdiction,” a Bhiwandi Police official said.
He added that police are recording statements of the deceased’s family members and neighbours.
