By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, FEB. 25. Four persons reportedly committed suicide by hanging themselves in their houses on Thursday.

A newly married woman committed suicide by hanging herself at her house in Kumaraswamy Layout police station limits as her husband allegedly tortured her for a bigger dowry, according to the police.
