Patna: A Muslim woman in Bihar\u2019s Rohtas district reportedly died by suicide after consuming poison along with her two minor children, unable to bear the trauma of her husband\u2019s lynching and subsequent threats from his attackers.<\/p>\nPatna: A Muslim woman in Bihar\u2019s Rohtas district reportedly died by suicide after consuming poison along with her two minor children, unable to bear the trauma of her husband\u2019s lynching and subsequent threats from his attackers.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the deceased, identified as Reshma Khatoon, allegedly consumed poison at her residence late Monday night with her four-year-old daughter, Taiyba, and her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Hamzad,. On Tuesday morning, neighbours grew suspicious after noticing no movement inside the house for an extended period. Upon intervening, they found all three unconscious and rushed them to a private clinic in Raj Colony, Sasaram.<\/p>\n
As their condition worsened, they were referred to Varanasi for advanced treatment, where Reshma Khatoon succumbed. Her two children remain in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Rohtas Superintendent of Police Roshan Kumar confirmed Reshma\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Doctors at the private clinic confirmed the victims had consumed pesticide.<\/p>\n
The tragedy follows the lynching of her husband, 32-year-old Hasan Raza Khan, by a Hindutva mob on March 24 over a land dispute. The attackers reportedly tied his hands and legs, dragged him along a state highway, and beat him to death in public view. The assault was recorded on video and widely circulated on social media.<\/p>\n
Family members say that they have been living in constant fear, receiving threats from the attackers. The person who recorded the lynching video has also reportedly been threatened.<\/p>\n
The suicide is being linked to the psychological trauma and intimidation faced by the family following the lynching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
