The boy lived with his parents in a JJ cluster in Greater Noida's Kasna area and the family belonged to Chhatarpur district in Madhya Pradesh, they police said.

"Around 1.45 pm, the child was on the terrace of their house and hung himself to a metal structure with a 'gamchha'. Prima facie it appears that he was playing on the terrace and accidentally hung himself. His mother was in the bathroom and father outside when the incident took place," a police spokesperson said.

In the other incident, a married woman's body was found hanging from a ceiling fan inside her house in Phase III area of Noida during the day, the police said.
