Uttar Pradesh Crime: A woman allegedly attempted suicide inside a police station in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur after her nephew ended their relationship, police said on Sunday.
The woman, identified as Pooja Mishra, hails from Delhi and is married to Lalit Kumar Mishra. She is the mother of two sons aged six and seven. According to police sources cited by a NDTV report, Pooja developed a romantic relationship with her husband’s nephew, Alok Mishra, who is 15 years younger than her.
Alok had been staying with the family to assist with work when the relationship began. After learning about the affair, Lalit sent Alok away, but Pooja later left her children and moved to Bareilly, where the two reportedly lived together for nearly seven months.
