Madikeri: A tragic incident unfolded on Wednesday morning as a 27-year-old Deputy Range Forest Officer (DRFO) allegedly took her own life at a guest house owned by the Forest Department in town. The young officer, identified as Rashmi, hailed from Mandya district.
Rashmi had been serving as a DRFO in Kodagu for the past two years. Despite her promising career and role in the Forest Department, the reasons that led her to take such a drastic step are yet to be confirmed.
Madikeri Town Police officials registered a case following the incident and have begun their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Rashmi's tragic death.
