BENGALURU: Upset over her husband having an affair, a 43-year-old woman along with her two daughters committed suicide by hanging at their house in Hanumantnagar in South Bengaluru on Monday.
Police recovered a mobile phone and a suicide note in which the daughters alleged that their father was responsible for their deaths.
The deceased were identified as Rajeshwari, a housewife, and her daughters Manasa, 17, and Bhumika, 15, studying in a private school. The family was residing in Sringar in Hanumantnagar police station limits.
