Woman and daughter found dead in Bengaluru

A 48-year-old woman allegedly ended her life after she found her 24-year-old daughter dead at their residence in Nagondanahalli in Whitefield on Monday.

The deceased have been identified as Rachitha Reddy, 48, a homemaker, and her daughter Shreeja Reddy, 24, who worked as a data analyst at a private firm. They were natives of Andhra Pradesh, the police said.

According to the police, Rachitha found Shreeja dead inside her room and called her husband, Shreedhar Reddy, who was at work, and informed him about the incident.

Shreedhar then informed their neighbour seeking help. When the neighbour arrived, Rachitha was also found dead. The police found a death note in Telugu in which, Shreeja stated that she was taking the extreme step due to depression.

The police suspected that the mother ended her life as she was unable to bear the loss of her only daughter.
