However, due to typical red-tape involving some forms, the woman was turned down by them.

On Wednesday Vaishakhi arrived at the police control room office and consumed some form of poison.

She was rushed to the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) where she was treated and then released.

Chandramukhi Devi, a Women's Commission member, said that the woman came with a hand-written note of complaint but she was told to fill out a form and come back with it.

"Had we known that she would take such extreme step, we would have tried to help her" she said.
