Woman allegedly dies by suicide after land registration in Kundapur
Kundapur: A 39-year-old woman allegedly ended her life by jumping into the Varahi River in Balkur, under the jurisdiction of Kundapur Rural Police Station, shortly after completing the registration of a newly purchased land.
The deceased has been identified as Shruti, wife of Vinay Bhandari of Balkur. Shruti and her family had purchased land in Balkur and completed the registration process on Wednesday, making a partial payment. A cheque in Shruti’s name was issued to the landowner for the remaining amount. However, when the owner attempted to withdraw the funds, the account reportedly lacked sufficient balance.
Upon learning about this, Shruti visited her bank to inquire about the issue. She is said to have ignored multiple calls from her husband and did not return home. Later, her two-wheeler was found abandoned near the banks of the Varahi River. Concerned locals alerted the police, who launched a search operation. Her body was recovered from the river on Wednesday afternoon.
The reason behind her drastic step remains unclear. A case has been registered at the Kundapur Rural Police Station, and further investigations are underway.
