The victim, identified as Khushi, originally from Siwan in Bihar, was married to Nadeem Ansari from Purana Gola, Bansgaon, four years ago. Because of their interfaith marriage, the couple lived together in a rented house in Piprauli.

"Nadeem, who is employed in Medina, Saudi Arabia, had recently visited home but departed again on May 9. On Friday night, after putting their son Asif to bed, Khushi initiated a video call with Nadeem. An argument reportedly ensued between them, and the call disconnected at 10:59 pm," said Circle Officer Ratneshwar Singh.

Nadeem quickly reached out to a neighbor, who hurried to Khushi’s home. When the neighbor found the door locked, they peered through a window and saw Khushi hanging from a hook on the ceiling, an official stated.

The police were informed and subsequently forced open the door to recover her body. Throughout the entire incident, the couple’s young child slept peacefully beside his mother.

"The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination. A detailed investigation into the circumstances leading to Khushi's death is currently underway," said the circle officer.
