RANCHI: A woman committed suicide in Jamshedpur reportedly because her husband refused to have sex with her.

According to local media reports, 22-year-old Moida Besra committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan on Wednesday night. Her husband Ranjeet Besra said he was shocked to find his wife hanging from the ceiling fan when he woke up on Thursday morning.

"My wife wanted to have sex on Wednesday night but I was not in a mood to have it. When she insisted I chided her and asked her to get rid of her demand," said Ranjeet.

"I was in an inebriated condition as I had attended a party. I was feeling sleep," he said.

"I had never imagined that my refusal would force my wife to end her life," said Ranjeet. Police have sent the body for post mortem and are trying to find out cause of the death.
