Gorakhpur (UP): A 28-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide after hearing that her husband had hanged himself in a hotel room in Varanasi, police said here on Monday.

He said that the police have identified the deceased as Harish Bagesh (28) and Sanchita Sharan (28).

MBA graduate Bagesh and fashion photographer Sanchita got married two years ago. Sanchita's father Dr. Ram Sharan told the police that Bagesh's parents, living in Patna, did not approve of this marriage.

After initially living in Mumbai, the couple moved to Gorakhpur in February to live with Dr Sharan. Bagesh had left his job before being transferred, Sharan said.

On Friday, Bagesh told Sanchita that he was going to Patna and the next day Sanchita dropped him at the railway station. The couple last spoke on Saturday evening, Dr Sharan said.

Dr. Sharan said that on Sunday morning the police informed the family that Bagesh was found hanging in a hotel room in Sarnath, Varanasi. Hearing this Sanchita called him.

When he was preparing to leave for Varanasi, Sanchita told her father that she could not live without Bagesh and jumped from the second floor of the building, Dr Sharan told the police.

Superintendent of Police (City) KK Vishnoi said on Monday that the bodies have been sent for post-mortem and further action will be taken based on the report.

Vishnoi said, police are investigating the reasons behind Harish going to Sarnath and then committing suicide.
