Nagaratna was a tailor and is survived by her husband, who works as a real estate broker, and two children. On the day of the incident, she had prepared sambar in the morning before leaving for work. When she returned home in the evening, she was upset that she had to eat the same food again.
Her husband, trying to console her, offered other food items, but she remained distressed. Around 8:30 pm, she went to the bathroom and did not come out for a long time. When she did not respond to calls, her husband broke open the door and found her hanging by her dupatta.
He immediately alerted the police. Based on a complaint filed by Nagaratna’s daughter, the Vishwanathapura police registered a case of unnatural death. The police are also investigating whether there were other reasons that might have pushed her to take such an extreme step.
