Bengaluru: A 25-year-old woman was found dead at her Bengaluru residence after an apparent suicide. Police are investigating the case after a note reportedly alleged harassment and torture by her husband and in-laws.
“If I die, please don’t spare them, Mother,” wrote the woman in an emotional death note before allegedly ending her life by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at her residence. In the note, she allegedly held her husband and sister-in-law responsible for her death, accusing them of subjecting her to continuous harassment, police said on Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Shwetha, a native of Chikkamagaluru, who was residing at Sunkadakatte in the Kamakshipalya police station limits. She was working as a teacher at a private school in Bengaluru.

Addressing her mother in the note, Shwetha reportedly wrote, “If I die, please don’t spare them, mother.”
She also expressed remorse, writing, “I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”
She further stated, “My husband and his sister are responsible for my death. In this background, I am tortured, and I don’t have any wish to live any further. In case I take the decision to end my life, don’t spare them.”
Police said Shwetha had entered into a love marriage around four months ago. The couple got married at the Shakti Ganapathi Temple in Kamalanagar, Bengaluru, and had been living together since their marriage.
