Though police ruled out foul play, police were trying to find out why the woman ended her life. Reeta of Vinit Khand was found hang- ing from the ceiling with a dupatta tied around her neck around noon on Wednesday. Her family members rushed her to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where doctors declared her brought dead. The hospital staff later informed the police and a team reached the scene. The investigating officer, sub-inspector Bharat Yadav, said Reeta married Neeraj 12 years back. He said circumstan- tial evidence did not hint any foul play. In another case, a 31-year- old woman, identified as Mamta of Azadpur village in Nagram, was found hanging at her house on Wednesday morning. She was spotted first by her husband Subhash after he woke up. Subhash told the police that Mamta was hanging with an electric wire tied around her neck. The police sent the body for autopsy and started further investigation. The police said Mamta’s parents, who live in Barabanki, have been informed about the incident. Mamta got married 11 years back. Her husband is a labourer.     !"#!$!$
