Chhattisgarh Woman Suicide Case: Reel Addict Korba Woman Consumes Pesticide After Repeated Internet Disruption, Dies

A 52-year-old woman from Korba district in Chhattisgarh, identified as Manglo Bai Sarathi, tragically took her own life after facing repeated internet disruptions while watching reels online. Manglo Bai was reportedly addicted to watching short video clips, known as "reels," on her mobile phone. On Saturday, while scrolling through her phone, she experienced multiple instances of internet outages, causing the videos to stop abruptly.

This disruption upset her significantly, leading her to throw her mobile onto the ground in frustration. After this incident, she consumed pesticide that was kept at home.

Manglo Bai's daughter, a 17-year-old girl, witnessed her deteriorating condition and immediately informed other family members. The family took her to the Kartala primary health center, where she received initial medical treatment. However, due to her critical condition, she was subsequently transferred to the Korba Medical College Hospital. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries during treatment at the hospital on Monday.

The deceased's body has been handed over to her family following her demise. Concurrently, the local police have initiated a further investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
