Assam, Feb 6: In a tragic incident, a 34-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in her rented house in Silchar city of Assam’s Cachar district. A note, purportedly written by her, blames her boyfriend for having pushed her to take the extreme step.
The now-deceased woman, identified as Lipi Dam Kanungo used to work at a motorcar showroom in Silchar. She used to live alone in a rented accommodation at Panchayat Road. Around 7:30 pm, her neighbors spotted her hanging from the ceiling fan at her house, following which police were informed.

She said Nath ditched her and tied the knot with another woman, according to a report.
Meanwhile, a police officer said they are probing the case from different angles. “We are investigating the case. Hopefully, we will reach a conclusion soon,” the report quoted the officer.
