A tragic incident was reported from Bengaluru, where a woman allegedly died by suicide after the death of her 11-month-old son at their residence under the Chandralayout Police Station limits.

Father's Grim Discovery

On April 1, at around 9 am, the father left for work while his wife and child were at home. Upon returning at around 6:30 pm, he found the door locked from the inside. Despite repeated knocking and calls to his wife's mobile phone, there was no response. He then used a spare key kept near a window to enter the house. Inside, he found his wife unresponsive, while the child was lying on the bed.

Note Found, Investigation Underway
