Kiran, from Salarpur village in Noida, got married to Kumar around nine years ago and has three children. Police believe it could be a case of suicide due to stress and pressure due to a bad marriage. But no suicide note has been recovered from the house.

Police said they have interrogated the neighbours and according to the statements recorded there were frequent fights between the couple. “However, we are taking no chances and every angle is being investigated thoroughly,” said A K Vijeta, SP (Rural).

According to police, Kiran had been teaching at a private primary school in the Salarpur village for close to three years now and her fellow-teachers have said there was no work pressure.
