Bengaluru: 26-year-old woman dies by suicide after harassment over giving birth to girl
Bengaluru: A 26-year-old woman died by suicide in Bengaluru after allegedly being harassed by her husband for giving birth to a girl child.
The accused, identified as Ravish, also assaulted his three-year-old daughter on previous occasions, including an incident where he allegedly burned her ear. Furthermore, he is said to have refused to settle the hospital bill following the birth of their daughter, as reported by The New Indian Express on Tuesday.
The deceased has been identified as Rakshitha, a resident of Muneshwara Block near Laggere. Her father has lodged a complaint against Ravish, a manager at a private bank, and his brother Lokesh, accusing them of harassing and ultimately murdering her. The complaint alleges that they harassed and murdered her before hanging the body to make it appear as a suicide.
Ravish, a native of Tumakuru, and Rakshitha, from Arasikere in Hassan district, got married four years ago and have a three-year-old daughter. In recent months, Ravish is said to have distanced himself from his in-laws, avoiding visits and refusing to attend any family events or his daughter’s functions for the past three months, the report added.
Rakshitha’s father, Thimmaraju, informed the police that he immediately went to her house after his repeated calls went unanswered. Upon finding the door locked from the outside, he borrowed a spare key from the house owner to gain entry and found his daughter hanging inside.
The Nandini Layout police have registered a case of abetment to suicide and domestic harassment. Further investigation is currently underway.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
