Bengaluru, Nov 23: A 28-year-old teacher was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her classroom at Ashok International Public School in Kammagondanahallinear Jalahalli, north Bengaluru, on Thursday morning.

Sumathi MP, a resident of Kammagondanahalli, is suspected to have taken the extreme step on Tuesday evening and it came to light only on Thursday morning as the school was closed on Wednesday. Sumathi had told her colleagues on Tuesday that she had some work and had to stay back in school. She hanged herself from the fan using her dupatta.

On entering the LKG classroom on the first floor of the building on Thursday morning, housekeeping staff found her body. They alerted the school management, who, in turn, called Gangammanagudi police.

Police have registered a case of an unnatural death based on a complaint by Purushotham, father of Sumathi. Autopsy will be done on Friday after the arrival of her husband from Chennai.

Sumathi married Nagaraj, an interior designer, five years ago. According to Purushotham, she was depressed over not having children. “We’re not sure about the reason as we did not find any suicide note,” police said.

Sumathi, who had joined the school as a kindergarten teacher in February, was pursuing BEd course through distance education.

Mangaluru, Jul 4: Normal life was thrown out of gear as heavy rain under the influence of South East Monsoon started lashing coastal districts of Karnataka including Dakshina Kannada on Saturday.

The heavy rain is likely to continue till July 7, according to the meteorological experts. 

The water level in Netravati river is increasing and district administration has warned the people living in the low lying areas and has asked them to move to safer places.

Owing to lack of storm water drains, water logging of the roads inconvenienced the motorists at KS Rao Road, Pumpwell, Bejai, and other areas. 

The Met department sounded warning for fishermen not to venture into the sea observing that strong winds with speed reaching 50-60 kmph are likely to prevail over Southwest and West Central Arabian Sea till July 5.
