An Air India air hostess allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her house in Meenambakkam in Chennai on Sunday evening.

According to police sources, Dhanpreet (32) used to live with her husband Anoop, a flight steward, and their two-year-old child at Air India Colony, Meenambakkam. The police said that since Dhanpreet’s parents were living at Teacher’s Colony, she went to work leaving the child under her parents’ care.

On Sunday, Mr. Anoop first went to his in-laws’ house and then left for home. When he walked into the house, he saw Dhanpreet hanging from the ceiling.

She had used a cloth to end her life. Her body was sent to Chrompet Government Hospital for post-mortem.

No suicide note

“The couple were leading a peaceful life. She had not left behind any suicide note,” said a senior police officer. A case has been registered by Meenambakkam police and further investigation is on.

Problem with a senior

Meanwhile, sources said that Dhanpreet’s mother alleged that her daughter had been having a problem with another senior airhostess for a while now.

When contacted, an Air India official said, “There was no complaint or any case filed by Dhanpreet with regard to any kind of harassment.”
