Patna: A Muslim woman in Bihar’s Rohtas district reportedly died by suicide after consuming poison along with her two minor children, unable to bear the trauma of her husband’s lynching and subsequent threats from his attackers.
According to Global Mirror, the deceased, identified as Reshma Khatoon, allegedly consumed poison at her residence late Monday night with her four-year-old daughter, Taiyba, and her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Hamzad,. On Tuesday morning, neighbours grew suspicious after noticing no movement inside the house for an extended period. Upon intervening, they found all three unconscious and rushed them to a private clinic in Raj Colony, Sasaram.
As their condition worsened, they were referred to Varanasi for advanced treatment, where Reshma Khatoon succumbed. Her two children remain in critical condition.
Rohtas Superintendent of Police Roshan Kumar confirmed Reshma’s death.
