A 30-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by consuming some poisonous substance inside the Sector 49 police station in Noida on Monday evening. She died on Tuesday afternoon at a hospital. 

Meanwhile, the family members alleged the police of given her poison and killing her.

According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Kavita. The woman took the extreme step as she was extremely upset after her husband's arrest in a case of theft.

"Based on a complaint received, the victim's husband, Sattan, was arrested and brought to police station on Sunday night. The woman came to the police station on Monday afternoon and started arguing with the police that her husband is innocent. When the police told the woman that the stolen mobile phone and other valuables have also been recovered from him, she returned home," said Arun Kumar Singh, Superintendent of police (city), Gautam Budh Nagar.

The police said that the woman was shattered after hearing that her husband has committed the crime and came back to the police station after a few hours. "After a few hours, she came back to the police station and became unconscious while talking to her husband. The police rushed her to a nearby hospital where she died during treatment on Tuesday afternoon. It seems like that she had consumed some poisonous substance before coming to the police station, " Singh said.

Meanwhile, the police suspect that the woman died after consuming poison but said that they are awaiting the post-mortem report to ascertain the actual cause of her death.

Following the woman's death, her family members and relatives staged a protest outside the Sector 49 police station on Tuesday evening alleging that the police had taken a bribe of Rs 50,000 cash in order to release Sattan.

"Two sub-inspectors of the police station had demanded Rs 5 lakh to release Sattan but they settled on Rs 50,000 which we paid. But even after taking the money, they didn't release him," alleged a family member.

Family members also alleged that she was given poison by the police personnel and suspect that some lower-ranked police officer had also asked for sexual favours from the woman to which she objected and was later given poison by them.

Sattan is a native of the Pilakhua area of Hapur district in Uttar Pradesh.
