A 42-year-old woman, the wife of a Gujarat cadre Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was found hanging from a fan at the couple’s residence at Shangri-La bungalows in Ahmedabad’s Thaltej on Friday.
The deceased, Saluben Susara, was the wife of Rajan T Susara (52), the superintendent of police of Marine Task Force, Surat.
The police said Saluben hanged herself late Thursday after returning to Ahmedabad from Surat. She was dropped home by her cousin Sumit Gamara after attending a wedding in Surat.
No suicide note was found at the place and a case of accidental death was registered at the Bodakdev police station. Saluben’s body was sent to Sola Civil Hospital for postmortem examination, Assistant Commissioner of Police S D Patel said.
“Susara and his wife were in Surat for a wedding. Susara came to Ahmedabad on Thursday afternoon, while Shaluben returned (from Surat) at night when he was already asleep,” Patel said.
He added, “Rajan saw Saluben go downstairs in the morning. He thought she might have gone down to perform puja but noticed that she had closed the door. When he opened the door, he found her hanging.”
Patel further said that they would record the statements of those who attended the wedding with Saluben. The couple had been married for around 30 years, he added.
