A 24-year-old woman from Delhi, who had recently moved to Bengaluru in search of work, tragically ended her life by hanging herself at her residence in the Bagalgunte area. The incident, which took place on Monday night, only came to light the following day.

The deceased, identified as Sonia, had relocated to Bengaluru about a month and a half ago to work at a private spa. On the night before her death, Sonia had a long conversation with her mother, sharing her struggles at work and the emotional difficulties she was facing being away from her family. It is believed that these feelings may have led to her decision to take her own life.

When there was no response, he alerted the police. Upon reaching the scene and forcing the door open, authorities discovered that Sonia had hung herself in her room.
