Allegedly tried committing suicide after her husband shot himself dead

On Wednesday, Sarita Singh, the wife of deceased senior Delhi Police officer Amit Singh, succumbed to the injuries she sustained after jumping off their fourth floor flat two days ago.
Ms. Singh took the alleged step after her husband, an Assistant Commissioner of Police with the Delhi Police Special Cell, shot himself dead in the same flat in Noida Sector 100.
Hospital authorities said she died around noon while she was on ventilator support. Failure of multiple organs including kidney and liver triggered a cardiac arrest situation, said doctors.
They added that the woman had multi-fractures and ruptured blood vessels when in the hospital. The doctors had given her 34 unit blood support.
“She had received multi-fractures in ribs, spinal cord and pelvic girdles with critical injuries in chest and stomach. The major blood vessels of her body were ruptured badly, which caused excessive blood loss from her body. Also the body’s blood pressure was not normal,” said a doctor.
With the death, the already hampered investigation has hit a deadlock because Ms. Singh was the only person who could provide an account of the circumstances under which the deaths happened, a fact acknowledged by senior police officers.
“She was a hope in police investigation for piecing together the clues but she is no more. The family members are in a state of shock after the couple’s death and we may have to wait for some more time to gather information,” said Superintendent of Police (Noida City) Dinesh Yadav.
Mr. Singh hailed from Chhapra, Bihar, while his wife was from Banda in Uttar Pradesh. She had a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree. The family members of the couple have avoided speaking to the media on the issue. Noida police have sent her body for post-mortem.
