A man reportedly killed his wife and attempted suicide in a lodge in Ballia city, allegedly due to family opposition to their court marriage, according to police statements on Monday. The woman later died from her injuries, while the man remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Omvir Singh noted that police received an emergency call from the lodge manager on Station Road late Sunday night.

The manager indicated that a room was locked from the inside with no response from those inside.
Singh described,
“When we forced open the door, we found a man and a woman lying unconscious on the bed with blood splattered across the room,”
The officer added,
“Both individuals were taken to the district hospital, where the woman was pronounced dead. The man is still in critical condition”
The deceased has been identified as Neha Parveen, 29, from Mohanpurwa, Pir Nagar, Ghazipur, while the injured man is Jameel Ahmad, 30, from Prem Chak Umarganj in the Ballia City Kotwali area.
Singh stated that Neha had a deep wound on her neck, while Jameel had cut his wrist. A bloodstained knife was found at the scene.
The SP said,
“Preliminary evidence suggests that Jameel attacked Neha with a knife before attempting to take his own life,”
According to the police, the couple had recently entered into a court marriage, but Jameel’s family opposed their union.
Singh added,
“It appears that the family’s disapproval forced them to stay at the lodge,”
The police have taken Neha’s body for postmortem and are continuing their investigation into the case. Efforts are being made to gather more information from Jameel once his condition improves.
