Gwalior: A woman died of a heart attack in Gwalior, unable to bear the trauma caused by her 33-year-old engineering graduate son committing suicide, police said on Sunday.
The deceased Manish Rajput was stressed as he failed to get a government job despite appearing for related exams, his brother claimed.
A police official said Manish allegedly consumed a poisonous substance on Saturday night under the Gwalior police station limits.
"A hospital informed on Sunday morning that Manish Rajput has died. When his mother, Radha Rajput, was told about her son's death, she suffered a heart attack and died," Gwalior police station in-charge Asif Mirza said, adding that a case was registered.
Manish's brother Anil Rajput said he was at a marriage ceremony on Saturday night when he received a call from his father about his younger brother consuming a poisonous substance.
"When I reached home, I found Manish's room locked from inside. I managed to enter the room from our neighbour's home and found Manish lying unconscious," he said.
When my mother was told about Manish's death, she could not bear the shock and died, he said.
Anil Rajput said Manish had been unsuccessfully trying for several years to crack competitive examinations to get a government job, which led him to take the extreme step.

Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): Four people were booked here for the abduction and assault of a man who they allegedly tied to a tree and beat up, police said on Wednesday.
The incident, a video of which has gone viral, took place on Tuesday afternoon under the Kunda police station limits.
The FIR was registered on Wednesday evening based on a complaint from the victim's father.
According to Keshav Prasad Yadav, a resident of Mauli village, some people called his 18-year-old son Nikhil Yadav on the phone and asked him to come out of his house around 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
As he reached outside the village as instructed, the accused allegedly forced him into a car and took him towards the Tinpedwa forest area, where they tied him to a tree and assaulted, the complainant said.
The attackers also recorded a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. The purported video shows the men thrashing Nikhil one after another, while one of them is assumed to have recorded the act.
Kunda Station House Officer Manoj Pandey confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all the accused.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has shared the video on social media, describing the incident as reflective of a "dominant mindset" against the PDA (Pichda or Backward, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak or Minority), and demanded strict action against the accused.
