A day after Haryana minister of state for home Gopal Goyal Kanda had to quit after a 23-year-old former airhostess named him in a suicide note before hanging herself at her Delhi house, Anuradha Bali ‘Fiza’, who had shot to fame after she married former deputy chief minister of Haryana Chander Mohan and converted to Islam, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her house in Panchkula on Monday morning. Fiza lived alone after Chander Mohan, son of former Haryana CM Bhajan Lal, went back to his family and divorced her by sending an SMS saying talaq three times in 2009. She was depressed and had attempted suicide even earlier.

Former Uttar Pradesh minister Amarmani Tripathi is serving a life sentence along with his wife for involvement in the murder of poetess Madhumita Shukla who was found murdered at her house in Lucknow in May 2003. An autopsy revealed that she was seven months pregnant and a DNA test established Tripathi to be the father of the child. These three cases have come to light, but there might be many more waiting to be unravelled.
