In a deeply disturbing turn of events from Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district, a female bank employee was found dead allegedly by suicide just hours after a dramatic confrontation involving her affair turned into a public spectacle.
The incident unfolded in Naidun, where the woman, originally from the Badsar area, had been working at the local branch of the State Bank of India (SBI). According to police sources, she had been living in a rented room in the area and was reportedly involved in a romantic relationship with a married male colleague who also worked at the bank.
Tensions escalated on Thursday, April 10, when the man’s wife, suspecting the affair, tracked his car using a location device she had discreetly installed. Accompanied by several relatives, she followed the vehicle to Naidun and arrived unannounced at the rented room where her husband was allegedly spending time with the bank employee.
The confrontation quickly spiraled out of control. Eyewitnesses reported heated arguments and a physical altercation, with the man’s relatives allegedly assaulting him at the scene. The disturbance drew the attention of local residents, prompting the involvement of the panchayat leadership and police authorities, including Naidun Station House Officer Nirmal Singh.
As the scene grew increasingly chaotic, the police attempted to de-escalate the situation by calling all involved parties to the station for questioning. However, the woman refused to accompany the police immediately, insisting that she would only appear in the presence of her parents.
Tragically, after the crowd dispersed and officials left the scene, the woman was later found hanging in her room. Police had to force open the door to recover her body. A handwritten note discovered at the scene stated that she was taking the step of her own volition and did not blame anyone for her death.
Despite the contents of the note, the woman’s family raised serious allegations, claiming she was murdered and demanding a thorough investigation. Superintendent of Police Bhagat Singh Thakur confirmed that a case has been registered and that a full inquiry is underway.
