A physically-handicapped woman attempted suicide after being cheated by her lover at Alamur village, Rudravaram mandal in Kurnool district, on Wednesday.
According to Sub-Inspector Srinivasulu, the victim has been identified as 23-year-old Lakshmi, daughter of Poturaju Soloman, and is a resident of Alamur.
According to police, Lakshmi fell in love with her neighbour Suresh (25), who promised her to marry her soon. After a few days, they developed a physical relationship, and she became pregnant with his child.
When Lakshmi pressed for their marriage, Suresh refused to marry her.
Frustrated over her marriage, Lakshmi attempted to end her life by consuming hair dye on Tuesday night.
She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital by her parents. Her condition is stable, according to hospital sources.
