Chikkamagaluru, Apr 13: Three members of a family together jumped into River Tunga on Friday April 12 and lost their lives. The incident happened near Hariharapura in Koppa taluk.
Umesh (35), his wife, Shashikala (30) and Shashikala's mother, Subbamma (65), were the ones who committed suicide together. Subbamma had tied her legs together with a rope before jumping into the river. All the three had tied their hands together with a veil before jumping.
It is gathered that the child of Umesh had recently died due to cardiac problems. It is guessed that this could be an act arising out of deep grief over the demise of the child.
