In a bizarre and horrifying incident, a mother of two today killed herself in the presence of her children.
The woman, Manjula Gowda, a resident of Lalaguda, committed suicide by hanging herself.
Before taking the extreme step, she took a selfie video, where she said that nobody was responsible for her death.
The children tried to save their mother, but their efforts went in vain.
They called their father, the owner of an Iyengar bakery, but the woman passed away before he could reach home.
The police reached the spot and rushed the body to a hospital for a post mortem.
Talking about the incident, they revealed that they were yet to find the reason behind the suicide, but that they prima facie believed that she was depressed and so took her life.
The two children of Gowda are sixth standard student Ranjith and fifth standard student Tejas.
