NOIDA: A 40-year-old woman climbed onto the elevated road near the NTPC building and jumped to her death on Monday evening.
The woman was wearing a red kurti and jumped off the flyover around 5.30pm.
Police are trying to verify the details of the woman.
She fell on the main road abutting the NTPC office.
She had suffered internal injuries.
Sudheer Singh, the station house officer of Sector 24 police station, said they received information about the suicide from passersby, some of whom had even tried to persuade the woman against taking the extreme step.
A group of commuters took the woman in an auto to the District Hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.
“Some passers-by even tried to stop the woman from jumping off the elevated road, but she was oblivious to all the appeals.
Since she did not suffer any external injury, we hoped she would survive.
So, we rushed her to the District Hospital.
Unfortunately, she had died by then,” a passerby said.
The officer said they were not only trying to identify the woman, but also ascertain if she was suffering from any kind of depression.
“Since she fell on the concrete road and not on the wet ground, she died due to internal injuries.
She seems to be a local, but we are yet to identify her,” he added.
In another case of alleged suicide, a 14-year-old girl was found hanging in her room in a highrise in Noida Extension on Sunday afternoon.
The Class IX student would stay with her parents and brother.
The police said the girl had just finished her online classes and retired to her room.
Her brother tried to enter the room, but found it bolted from inside.
“He found her sister had bolted the door from inside the room.
They broke open the door and found her hanging from the ceiling fan,” a police officer said.
ACP-2 (central Noida) Yogendra Singh told TOI the girl’s family rushed her to a private hospital in Noida Extension, but she had died by then.
Singh said though the parents shared information about the alleged suicide, they declined to speak about what could have driven her to it.
