Haridwar: The Haridwar police were left perplexed after seven women came forward to claim the body of a 40-year-old who committed suicide Sunday. All of them claimed to be his wives. What’s more interesting is that none of them had any idea about the other women in the man’s life. After the intense drama and quarrel, the man was cremated.
Subsequently, two more women, also claiming to be his wives, came forward. The local cops have now decided to wait for a few more days to see if the list is finally complete.
The deceased Pawan Kumar, a Ravidas Basti resident, worked as a driver. According to the police, the man consumed poison Sunday night and although his wife rushed him to a nearby hospital after seeing him in an unconscious state, he succumbed during treatment in the hospital.
In the initial probe, the police have found that the deceased was facing severe financial crisis. It has also been learnt that the man led a low-profile life and didn’t have many friends.
The deceased had zero balance in his bank account and he lived in a rented accommodation, the official added.
