Hyderabad: Woman commits suicide after recording a selfie video

The woman Manjula Goud (32), a native of Karnataka was running a bakery and staying with her family here.

Hyderabad: Suspected to be depressed over family issues, a woman baker recorded a video before ending her life at her residence in Lalapet in Lalaguda here on Sunday morning.

The victim identified as Manjula Gowda (32), a native of Bengaluru in Karnataka shifted to Hyderabad two years ago and was running a bakery along with her husband Satish Kumar. The couple has two children, both boys.

For the last one-an-a-half year, the couple has been running the bakery in Lalapet, which was profitable too. The family went to attend a family event and a puja at their native place in November and recently returned home.

According to the police, Manjula is suspected to have committed suicide around 10 am on Sunday, in the absence of her husband and children.

“Her husband left home for shop around 8 am and their children went out to play when the incident occurred. She committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling fan in their bedroom,” police said. The incident came to light when her children returned home around noon.

On being alerted by the neighbours, the Lalaguda police reached the spot and took up investigation.

Before ending her life, Manjula had recorded a video in her mobile phone, which the police recovered. “The family is clueless of the reasons which led to her suicide. The couple had no financial issues or fights. There was no suicide note found in the room. However, on examining her mobile phone, we found a video which she took before she hanged herself,” said an official.

In the video which Manjula recorded in her mother tongue-Kannada, she said nobody was responsible for her death. She was depressed and unhappy with her life, the police said.

The body was shifted to the Gandhi Hospital morgue and was later handed over to the family after autopsy late evening.
