In a heartbreaking incident, a young couple allegedly died by suicide after consuming poison in Ghata village of Halol taluka, located in Panchmahal district, Gujarat. The local police confirmed the tragic event on Friday, pointing to frequent quarrels between the spouses as the suspected motive behind this desperate act.
Sequence of Events Leading to the Tragedy
The distressing episode began on Thursday evening when Jayshri Baria, aged 22, started vomiting at her residence. Concerned neighbors promptly rushed her to a hospital in Shivrajpur. As her condition worsened, she was transferred to a medical facility in Halol for more advanced care. Despite the efforts of medical professionals, Jayshri succumbed to the poison during treatment.
Subsequent preliminary investigations by the police uncovered that her husband, Hitesh Baria, aged 32, had also ingested a pesticide. After consuming the poison, Hitesh reportedly left their home.
