An engineer from Bengaluru reportedly died by suicide on Tuesday after a family dispute over cooking. An argument broke out between a 35-year-old tech worker and her mother-in-law, after which the woman ended her life by hanging.
The incident took place in Bengaluru, where 35-year-old Shushma, who previously worked in an IT company, hanged herself, NDTV reported.
Shushma was married to Puneeth for five years, and they also have a four-year-old son. There were frequent arguments in their home over minor issues, including cooking food.
