Rajgangpur: Police recovered the body of a 32-year-old widow, identified as Namita Ekka, who was found hanging inside her home at Garbhana village under Rajgangpur police station limits on Saturday.
According to reports, Namita had completed her household chores on Friday night before retiring to her bedroom. Early the next morning, her mother-in-law discovered the bedroom door open and found Namita hanging from the asbestos railing of the house with a scarf tied around her neck.
