10 Oct
Summary
- A 20-year-old girl died by suicide after her 17-year-old brother's death.
- The brother reportedly died by suicide, found hanging by a well.
- The family suspected a disagreement between siblings preceded the tragedy.
A profound tragedy has enveloped a family in Uttar Pradesh, following the simultaneous suicides of a brother and sister. The ordeal began Saturday morning when a 17-year-old boy was discovered hanging from the railing of a well in Mirzapur's Hajipur village.
Distraught by the news of her younger brother's death, a 20-year-old girl allegedly took her own life. Family members found her hanging from the ceiling upon their return with the boy's body. Rushed to a hospital, she was declared dead.
Family members indicated that a heated exchange between the siblings during Friday night's dinner might have deeply upset the boy. Police have sent both bodies for postmortem examination, though no formal complaint has been lodged by the grieving family.
