K'taka: 38-year-old woman dies by suicide after being upset over eating sambar cooked in morning
Bengaluru: A 38-year-old woman from Devanahalli taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru died by suicide after reportedly feeling distressed over having to eat the same sambar she had cooked in the morning, according to preliminary findings by the police.
The deceased, Nagaratna, had a history of mental health issues, as reported by The New Indian Express on Sunday. Police mentioned that she was short-tempered and would often get upset over minor issues, which could have contributed to her taking the extreme step.
Nagaratna, a tailor by profession, is survived by her husband, a real estate broker, and their two children. On Thursday, before leaving for work, she had cooked sambar in the morning. However, upon returning home that evening, she reportedly became upset over having to eat the same meal again.
Her husband reportedly tried to console her and even offered alternative food options to calm her down. However, around 8:30 p.m., she went into the bathroom and did not come out for an unusually long time. When she failed to respond, her husband forced the door open and found her hanging by her dupatta, the report added.
He alerted the police, and based on a complaint filed by Nagaratna’s daughter, the Vishwanathapura police registered a case of unnatural death.
While initial findings point to emotional distress, authorities are also investigating whether there were any other underlying reasons behind the incident.
