An octogenarian woman, who was suffering from fever for a few days, allegedly committed suicide by setting herself on fire at a village in Puri district of Odisha on Thursday night. Police suspect she took the extreme step as she feared that she had been infected by the coronavirus and hence was being shunned by the people in her neighbourhood.
The incident occurred at Jainabad village under Nimapara Notified Area Council (NAC) in Puri district.
Inspector Upendra Pradhan of Nimapara police station told
The Telegraph: “The woman was living alone and was under severe mental stress. All her three daughters are married and there was nobody to take care of her in the village. She had a fever for the past few days. Perhaps she thought that she had been infected with Covid-19 and took the extreme step.”
