Mangaluru: In a tragic incident, a 25-year-old woman allegedly took her own life by hanging herself in Ullal, five days after celebrating the house-warming ceremony for her newly purchased residence in Kumpala Chitranjali Nagar, Farangipet.

The deceased has been identified as Ashwini Bangera, and preliminary investigations by the police suggest that she may have committed suicide due to stress. According to sources, Ashwini had a conversation with a friend over the phone on Wednesday night. However, when the friend visited her on Thursday morning, she was shocked to discover that Ashwini had locked herself in her room. The friend had to forcibly break open the door, only to find Ashwini hanging from the fan.

A 24-page suicide note was recovered by the police, wherein Ashwini, who had been working abroad, revealed that she had purchased the house in Kumpala Chitranjali Nagar about two months ago from a person named Sangeetha. Ashwini had recently organized a house-warming ceremony on June 3 and had been residing in the new house with her mother Devaki and two cousins. In the note, Ashwini alleged that she had been deceived during the purchase of the house and was currently being harassed by bank officials. This led the police to suspect that Ashwini may have been in a state of depression due to the various challenges she faced, ultimately leading her to take such a drastic step.

The Ullal Police Station has registered a case in connection with the incident, and a thorough investigation is underway. The body of Ashwini Bangera has been sent for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.

Kolkata (PTI): Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cut short her speech at a rally in her Bhabanipur constituency, alleging that the BJP was deliberately playing loud music from a nearby public meeting.

A peeved Banerjee said despite having the required permission of the Election Commission, her rally in Chakraberia was disrupted by the BJP, "who want to capture Bengal by intimidation and threat".

"It is not possible for me to go ahead with this meeting. If they can do such a thing in my constituency, imagine how undemocratic the BJP is. If they behave like this, I have to take legal action," she said.

"This is an insult, humiliation. BJP is stepping on our toes to instigate trouble. Not possible to address the gathering in this situation. I am leaving the stage. Please vote for me in your protest," she added.

Banerjee was then seen calling someone over and venting her grievances.

Before leaving the stage, she said, "I will hold a rally tomorrow at the same spot."

TMC supporters then rushed towards the BJP rally, which was later addressed by Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, but security personnel intervened and prevented the situation from escalating.

TMC workers later staged a demonstration outside the local police station and filed a complaint, alleging that the BJP violated the model code of conduct.

A senior TMC leader said another complaint will also be lodged with the Election Commission.

Asked about Banerjee's allegations, Adhikari told reporters after the rally he held nearby, "Her reaction shows she is nervous about the imminent loss."

"There was no violence, no obstruction in her meeting and her behaviour shows her nervousness. On May 4, people of Bhabanipur will celebrate the victory of the BJP," he claimed, alleging that the TMC also tried to disrupt his meeting by playing loud music.

South Kolkata's Bhabanipur, one of the battleground seats in the West Bengal elections, will vote in the second phase on April 29.
