A 26-year-old woman, identified as Vijayalakshmi, died by suicide after jumping into Hussain Sagar lake.
A resident of Kukatpally, Vijayalakshmi had left her home two days ago saying she would return shortly. When she failed to come back, her family lodged a missing person complaint at the Kukatpally police station. The police registered a case and launched a search operation.
Her body was recovered from the lake today.
The police dismissed rumours that she took the extreme step due to marriage-related issues, terming them completely false. According to them, Vijayalakshmi had been suffering from severe depression for some time and was undergoing medical treatment.
Investigators suspect that she ended her life as she was unable to cope with prolonged mental distress.
