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.

New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.

In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".

"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.

A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.

Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.

India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.

Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.

In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
