A police official quoted the husband as saying that the couple from the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala had an argument at around 1:45pm. After that, the wife locked herself in the bedroom and refused to open the door when he asked to. He left a note reading "I will go for ever and will never be back to your life" at home and went out.
When he returned home after some time, the door was still locked. He forcefully opened the door and saw his wife hanging from the fan, S.K. told the police. He brought down the body after cutting the cloth and tried to save her, but in vain. Feeling heartbroken, the man took a knife from the kitchen and cut the veins of both the hands, sources said.
