Raj Singh was in the house when his daughter locked herself in her room and took the extreme step around 6.45 am."Saroj told me she did not feel like cooking. I decided to bring food from market. She gave me an apple and went in her room. When she did not respond to my calls, a neighbour spotted her hanging from a window," said Raj Singh, an agriculturist and a resident of Karnal.
Saroj was rushed to Government Multi-specialty Hospital (GMH), Sector 16, where doctors declared her brought dead.
Police claimed Saroj was under depression. She was taking treatment from GMH. Her medical record was recovered from her room. Sources said Saroj was also upset owing to her marriage proposals. Two months back, two juveniles had snatched her cellphone. They were later arrested.
