Imphal, July 21 2011:
At least two persons died in the past two days in separate unrelated incidents in the state.
A 19 year old housewife having a nine month old baby died at Churachandpur District Hospital after she consumed poison.
She was identified as Thongbam Ongbi Roji wife of Somorjit of Churachandpur Thengra Leirak.
According to her husband Somorjit, Roji and her mother in law Memma had a heated argument around 8 am in the morning.
At that time he was away in a local workshop and came back around 10 am to find Roji lying unconscious at her bed after consuming a pesticide.
She was rushed to CCpur District Hospitals immediately where she succumbed around 12 noon.
On the other hand, family members of the housewife expressed suspicion on the death of Roji.
They said that Roji called her maternal home around 7 am on the fateful day informing them of arguments between her and her in laws.
They said that it is impossible for a mother of a nine month old baby to commit suicide leaving her baby.
CCpur police have registered a case regarding the matter.
The body of Roji was deposited at RIMS mortuary and a post mortem exam was conducted today.
In an unrelated incident, a mechanic of Loktak Development Authority died when he was electrocuted by a HT line while repairing a Tata Tipper along the Sendra Road.
