A woman has committed suicide following her husband's denial to go to a Durga Puja marquee, the husband says.

Police detained Meghnad Roy when he brought Krishna Rani Roy, whom she married seven months back, to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Tuesday evening.

She was pronounced dead later.

Meghnad, a tailor in the New Market area, told reporters, "Rani asked me to go to worship Durga in the noon. She tried to commit suicide by hanging herself when I denied going as I had many works to be done."

DMCH police camp sub-inspector Mozammel Haque told that he informed a police station after detaining Meghnad.
