What is shocking is the fact that before committing suicide, Pooja kept her dead pet cat's body with her for two days, hoping that it could ‘come back to life’; despite her mother's insistence, she refused to bury the dead animal's body. She had adopted the stray cat a few years ago, because she was lonely; she had had a divorce with her husband of eight years and had been living with her mother.
