A 45-year-old woman named Nageshwari from Mysuru took her own life after enduring workplace torture and being denied her weekly offs, according to a suicide note recovered at the scene. The victim, a sales executive at a private supermarket, alleged she faced mental harassment for a prolonged period and was forced to take blame for mistakes she didn't commit.
Her supervisor, Dolly, allegedly denied her leaves for four months and pushed her beyond limits. Nageshwari's husband, Ashok, found her body on August 7 after multiple unsuccessful attempts to reach her on the phone. She had consumed a lethal substance, likely used to kill pests. Investigations are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding her death and the allegations made in the suicide note.
