A 42-year-old woman, Manjula, reportedly took her own life at her residence in north Bengaluru on Tuesday. The deceased was a member of the BJP‘s local women’s unit and had recently been serving as the functionary for the Malleswaram mandal until Monday, according to party sources.
Manjula’s death was discovered around 2 pm when her niece, who lived nearby, found her body. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Police revealed that Manjula had been living alone after separating from her husband several years ago, with no children.
A death note was found at the scene, where Manjula stated that no one was accountable for her decision to end her life. The police have registered an Unnatural Death Report (UDR) and are conducting further investigations into the case.
