The name of estranged IAS officer’s wife figured in the confession of suspects in boy kidnap case in Madurai

Gandhinagar News: A Gujarat cadre IAS officer’s wife allegedly eloped with a gangster nine months ago. She came back on Saturday morning and purportedly consumed poison in a garden across the road from the official residence of her husband-- Ranjeeth Kumar J--after he instructed aides not to let her into his home in Sector-19 of Gandhinagar.

The victim, identified as Surya J, 45, passed away at Civil Hospital in the Gujarat capital on Sunday.

"Kumar had gone out to finalise his divorce petition with Surya on Saturday. Rattled at not being let in, she (Surya) ingested poison and called up 108 (an ambulance helpline)," Times of India quoted a police officer as saying.
