HYDERABAD: Upset with her husband not taking the family for Christmas shopping, a housewife ended her life along with their two children by jumping into a water body at Chennapur lake in Jawaharnagar on Saturday night.
The victims were identified as Nagamani, 27, her children, Ruby, 5, and eight-month-old Pandu from Balaji Nagar in Jawaharnagar. According to Jawaharnagar sub-inspector (SI) D Mohan, Nagamani’s husband Nageswar Rao has been working at a private firm in the city.
On Saturday, Nagamani and Nageswar Rao had an argument when she asked him to take her and the children for Christmas shopping. “Nageswar Rao refused to take Nagamani and children out for shopping. He also reprimanded her for repeatedly asking him to take the family for shopping. Upset with her husband’s behaviour, Nagamani left the house along with their two children around 9pm on Saturday,” the SI said.
As she did not return home for more than two hours, Nageswar Rao searched for her in surrounding areas and inquired with relatives. After failing to locate her, a complaint was lodged with police around 11pm. “While we were trying to locate Nagamani and her two children, locals alerted us saying that bodies of a woman and two children were found floating in Chennapur lake in Jawaharnagar on Sunday morning. We fished out the bodies and a case was registered,” the SI said.
