The sources said the woman, who cleared intermediate a couple of years ago, was preparing for police constable exam by attending classes at Mahubababad, shuttling between her village and the town. While the victim’s mother died several years ago, she and her younger brother were living with her father, a lorry driver. “Depressed by the incident, the woman tried to end her life on February 18, but she was rushed to Mahabubabad area hospital for treatment where she died while undergoing treatment,” a relative said.
