Bengaluru, Aug 12: The 21-year-old wife of a KAS officer allegedly committed suicide by hanging at a PG accommodation in Sanjaynagar police station limits on Wednesday. It is alleged that harassment by her husband is the reason for the suicide. The deceased has been identified as Chaitra, a resident of Nagarabavi. She was the wife of Niranjan Babu, a KAS officer posted in the land acquisition wing of the BDA.
According to the police, Chaitra had shifted to the PG accommodation for working women on July 31. As she did not come out of her room on Wednesday, the other inmates grew suspicious and knocked at the door. As there was no response, they peeped through a window and found her hanging. They immediately alerted the police.
“It is learnt that Chaitra got married to Niranjan Babu two years ago and had separated from him a year ago over differences. She was living with her parents in Nagarabavi and then moved to the PG accommodation. Before taking the extreme step, she had contacted her mother over the phone. Though her mother had asked her to return home, she had refused,” the police said.
“Chaitra's father Jayakumar is a D' Group employee in Karnataka State Warehousing Corporation. She was a stenographer on contract basis in the same office. When Niranjan was working there, they both fell in love and got married in Tirupati,” the police added.
“Jayakumar has filed a complaint stating that Niranjan and his mother were harassing Chaitra. Unable to bear it, she had left them and this led to her suicide. Niranjan is absconding and efforts are on to trace him,” the Sanjaynagar police said. Further investigations are on.
Udupi, Jan 4: A 37-year-old Udupi district JD(S) spokesperson allegedly committed suicide at his residence here last night, police said on Saturday.
