Hyderabad: A 28-year-old woman hanged herself to death at her rented house at the Medical Society of Srinivasa Nagar Colony in Kukatpally on Monday allegedly due to harassment by her landlord.
The victim, P. Sujatha, wrote on her room’s wall that the house owner was responsible for her death. She stated that owner Prasanna Kumar had assaulted her asking her to vacate when her husband was not present. Neighbours told the police that Kumar used abusive language and tried to assault her for not vacating. He was threatening to throw them out as the couple’s children made noise.
Police is now hunting for the suspect Prasanna Kumar, 42, a techie. Rama Krishna and wife Sujatha had been staying on the first floor while the owner stayed on the ground floor.
On Sunday night, when her husband was not at home, the house owner came and started abusing Sujatha. He asked her to vacate immediately and tried to hit her. Her husband Rama Krishna had gone to attend a marriage in his native place on Friday.
An insulted Sujatha decided to commit suicide. Before hanging herself she called her husband and informed him about the assault by Kumar. She told him that she was unable to bear the insult. Her husband however, did not know that she would take such extreme step.
Following the complaint lodged by Rama Krishna police registered a case under IPC section 306 (abetment of suicide).
