SRINAGAR: A mentally unsound 40-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in the central Kashmir district of Budgam, official sources said here today.
They said a woman, who was not identified hanged herself in a chowshed at Ranipora, Beerwa, in Badgam district.
Police have registered a case and handed over the body to her relatives for last rites, they said adding it was not immediately clear why she took this extreme step.
One person commits suicide almost daily in the valley, where Muslim ulelmas, separatist, mainstream parties and religious organisations have expressed concern over the trend. Ulemas declared it UnIslamic and against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
