Bar dancer commits suicide

New Delhi, July 1 (UNI) A 26-year-old bar dancer allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in the Uttam Nagar area of West Delhi leaving behind two children.

Priya, who earlier worked as a bar dancer in Mumbai, was found hanging from the ceiling fan at her father's residence in Uttam Nagar's Mohan Garden area this morning, according to sources.

She was cremated today and the funeral fire was lit by her 'suitor' Pawan Chauhan, who works as a compounder at the Army Hospital.

Frustrated over Pawan, whom she befriended after she returned from Mumbai in 2004, having got married a couple of months ago, Priya took the extreme step. She was reportedly three-months pregnant when Pawan got married.

She leaves behind two children -- one from her earlier marriage to one Ashok Kheda, who died of illness while in Mumbai after which she returned to her father's place and another-a three month-old -- from Pawan.

In a note, written some months back and found during a search of her room, she describes her frustration over her relationship with Pawan.

An enquiry by an SDM has been initiated into the matter and investigations are on, the police said.
