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.
