woman ends life in agony

 [IST]
Gaya, Apr 24 (UNI) Apparently overwhelmed by the agony of losing her life partner, an elderly woman ended her life on the pyre of her octogenarian husband at Sidupur village under Imamganj police station here.

District Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar Jain said a case of 'unnatural' death had been registered with the concerned police station.

Sita Devi (77) took the extreme step last week with no proof of any abetment from any quarter, Mr Jain said.

Official sources said Sita Devi's husband, Sugreev Prasad, who was a paralytic patient (82), died on April 19 and his body was consigned to flames the next evening.

Sources said that Sita Devi, also an avid reader of fiction relating to Sati Anusuyya, ventured out on the night of April 20 and squatted on the embers of the pyre till her end came silently.

Finding her missing, her kin made a frantic search to ultimately locate her body in the cremation ground.
