As per police, the incident took place at the family’s home in Arjun Nagar. Rohini’s youngster sister Roshni found her hanging in her room before she alerted family members.

Rohini was taken to a hospital where she was declared dead on arrival.

Roshni hinted workplace harassment may have led to her sister’s death.
