Kundapur, Apr 5: In a shocking incident, a woman jumped into a well and committed suicide at Padukone of Gangolli police station limits here late night on April 4.

The deceased woman has been identified as Mangala, a resident of Haveri Kuretti. She was married to a migrant labourer Gopala who was a resident of Madhavapura. They had come to Padukone and were working as road construction labourers under local contractor Rama Poojary.

It is said that Mangala allegedly had an extramarital affair with Shivamogga resident Fakiresh and was communicating with him through mobile phone. Her husband was at home due to illness on Tuesday and saw Mangala speaking to Fakiresh on her phone. As Gopala grew suspicious, he asked for her phone which she refused to give. There were quarrels between them in this connection.

Later, Mangala committed suicide by jumping into a well in the midnight.

A police case stands registered at Gangolli police station.
