Police discovered the body of an unidentified woman hanging from a mango tree on the banks of the Tati River in Hatiyawan area of Shekhpura district. After 24 hours, her identity remains unknown, and investigators are treating it as a possible suicide while probing inconsistencies.
The police in Hatiyawan, a subdivision of Shekhpura district, reported that a woman's corpse was found hanging from the branch of a mango tree on the banks of the Tati River. The body was discovered early on Monday, draped in a traditional saree, and was immediately secured by local law‑enforcement teams.

The woman's personal belongings were limited to the saree, and no identification documents were found on the scene.
Initial statements from the Shekhpura police suggest the death may be a suicide, citing the manner in which the body was suspended.
