Two Women Die by Suicide in Bengaluru

A tragic incident occurred in Bengaluru on Sunday night, where a 23-year-old newly married woman, Tanuja, allegedly died by suicide after consuming poison. The incident took place on a roadside near Bengaluru, and according to the police, it was a result of a dispute with her husband, Ravindra.

The couple had entered into a secret marriage at the Dharmasthala temple a few months ago, without Ravindra's family's knowledge. After the marriage, Ravindra had arranged for Tanuja to stay in a paying guest accommodation, and later shifted her to a rented house in Singapore Layout in Yelahanka. However, on Sunday night, Tanuja called Ravindra and asked him to come home, but he allegedly told her he could not come immediately.

Upset over his response, Tanuja reportedly switched off her mobile phone and later sent Ravindra a message stating that she had consumed poison. Ravindra immediately rushed to the location and found Tanuja, shifting her to a nearby hospital, but she succumbed before she could be admitted for treatment.

In a separate incident, a 25-year-old woman, Shwetha, committed suicide at her residence in Bengaluru, leaving a death note that blamed her husband and in-laws for torture and harassment. The note read, 'If I die, please don't spare them, mother,' and held her husband and sister-in-law responsible for her death.

Shwetha was a teacher at a private school in Bengaluru and had entered into a love marriage about four months ago. The police are investigating both incidents, and a case has been registered at the Nelamangala Town Police Station and the Kamakshipalya police station.

The incidents highlight the growing concern of marital disputes and harassment leading to suicidal tendencies in women. The police are working to establish the exact circumstances leading to the alleged suicides and are investigating the role of the husbands and in-laws in the incidents.

Bengaluru has seen a rise in cases of marital disputes and harassment, and these incidents are a stark reminder of the need for support and counseling for women in distress. The city's police department is working to create awareness and provide support to women who are facing harassment and abuse.

The incidents have sent shockwaves across the city, and the police are urging anyone with information about the incidents to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are working to bring the perpetrators to justice.

In conclusion, the two incidents of women dying by suicide in Bengaluru are a tragic reminder of the need for support and counseling for women in distress. The city's police department and social organizations must work together to create awareness and provide support to women who are facing harassment and abuse.

The incidents also highlight the need for families and society to be more supportive and understanding of women who are facing marital disputes and harassment. It is essential to create a safe and supportive environment for women to open up and seek help without fear of judgment or repercussions.

The police are working to prevent such incidents in the future and are urging anyone with information about the incidents to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and the police are working to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The incidents are a stark reminder of the need for a more supportive and understanding society, where women can feel safe and supported. It is essential to create awareness and provide support to women who are facing harassment and abuse, and to work towards preventing such incidents in the future.
