A 36-year-old woman from Meghalaya died by suicide in Bengaluru’s Kodigehalli police station limits. The incident came to light on May 1, when police were alerted. The deceased has been identified as Agatha Baithianghun, who was working in the housekeeping department at Manyata Tech Park and was also associated with a KSU unit.
Live-In Relationship And Domestic Dispute
According to police sources, Agatha had been in a live-in relationship for the past three years with Nawaz Sharief, a 20-year-old man from Manipur. The couple was residing in a rented house in Sanjeevini Nagar. Reports suggest that they often had disputes, reportedly linked to their 16-year age difference.
Argument Before the Incident
Police investigation indicates that Agatha suspected Nawaz of speaking to other women. On Wednesday night, Nawaz was on a phone call with his mother, which allegedly led to a misunderstanding. Agatha reportedly mistook the call for one with another woman, which triggered an argument between the couple. Disturbed by the situation, Nawaz left the house.
