Did marriage proposal upset Chitra?
Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: R. Chitra, the Ph.D. scholar at Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) who committed suicide on Monday night, had taken the extreme step as she was reportedly unhappy over her proposed marriage.
Enquiries with Chitra’s family members showed that the 32-year-old was not happy about an alliance finalised by her parents, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) K.V. Sharathchandra told The Hindu on Wednesday.
“This may be the reason for the suicide. As the family is in a state of shock, we have not been able to question them in detail,” he said.
The police on Tuesday searched Chitra’s hostel room on the IISc. campus and she had not left any suicide note. The autopsy had revealed that she had consumed poison, suspected to be a plant derivative. The viscera have been sent for chemical analysis to the State Forensic Science Laboratory. The chemical analysis report would confirm the nature of substance she had consumed, Mr. Sharathchandra said.
On Monday night, Chitra boarded a KSRTC bus at Kempegowda bus station to reach her hometown Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu. When the bus reached Hosur Road, the conductor noticed Chitra convulsed with vomiting.
