Meanwhile, the cops suspect foul play behind the incident. Pooja Sethi found Richa Sethi's body hanging in her room on the first floor of the house after she returned home from her duty. She informed her husband and son and subsequently the police was informed about the incident. Receiving the information, the police reached the spot and removed the body. An unsigned paper note was recovered from her room on which it was written: "Nobody will be responsible for my death". The police said Mahesh Sethi and Pooja WEre bank employees. Mohit and Richa came in contact while pursuing studies in Panjab University. As the Sethi couple was not happy with their relation, the duo got married in court almost five years ago and started living in Chennai. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), West, RPS Sandhu, said the police visited the house and found that the body was hanging from the ceiling fan of the room, while her legs were touching the bed. Her vein of a wrist was also found slit and blood was oozing out. The police also found a bottle of sauce broken inside the bathroom and a washbasin damaged, the ACP added. During questioning, Mohit claimed to have left for the market while his parents were in their respective banks when Richa took the extreme step, the ACP added. The police informed Richa's father Ravinder Kumar, a resident of Sector 4, Panchkula, and arrested the trio on his complaint. Ravinder reached the city late last night and lodged a complaint against the Sethi family. In his complaint, Ravinder Kumar alleged that the Sethis were harassing his daughter for dowry, which had strained Mohit and Ruicha's relations for some time. The body was handed over to the family this evening after postmortem by a board of doctors at the local Civil Hospital. Meanwhile, the police is investigating the case to know the reasons which forced the girl to take the step, Sandhu added. |

Groundnut removed from lungs of 10-month-old
Jalandhar, January 13 Dr HJ Singh, who conducted the surgery said, “The child was also turning blue at times (cyanosis). In fact the child had been taken to many doctors during the past 25 days, but no one was able to diagnose the problem correctly and it was mostly ruled as a case of recurrent pneumonia/bronchial asthma. However, when we conducted an X-ray of the chest, it raised the suspicion of the presence of a foreign material in the child’s lung.” The grandmother of the patient told the hospital authorities that the family was preparing for the first Lohri of the child and expressed doubts that the child might have inhaled something but was not sure about it. The groundnut was removed bronchoscopically, a procedure that continued for an hour. The operation was conducted on January 11 and the child was discharged today. Dr HJ Singh, bronchoscopist, said that little children needed to be supervised, when nuts and eatables lying around them. For a little children, a seemingly harmful thing like a groundnut or eatables during festivals like Lohri could prove fatal for their health. |
