Chamarajnagar: In a heartbreaking incident a 24-year-old woman named Megha, residing in Bommanahalli village of Terakanambi hobli in Gundlupet taluk, allegedly took her own life and the lives of her two young daughters late Thursday night.
The victims have been identified as Megha and her two daughters, Punvitha (6) and Manvitha (3). Preliminary investigations suggest that Megha, who was believed to be under severe mental stress due to alleged harassment by her husband, Dhananjaya, and her in-laws, may have resorted to this extreme step.
The family of the deceased woman has accused her in-laws of subjecting her to prolonged harassment, dating back to eight years ago when Megha and Dhananjaya were married. A video clip found on Megha’s mobile phone reveals a disturbing altercation that occurred within her household throughout the day leading up to the tragic incident on Thursday.
The local authorities have taken custody of her phone, which contains the video clip as potential evidence in the case.
