Kasargod, Mar 25: Unable to bear the agony of her husband’s recent suicide, a woman jumped into a well of the neighbouring house along with her one-year-old child, for committing suicide. However, both were saved.

The incident occurred at Kolikunnu in Meetal Mangad, Uduma near Kanhangad in the district on the evening of Wednesday March 23. Mahima (19), a local girl, started suffering from bouts of mental agony, after her husband, Pradip Kuttan (24), committed suicide on March 20 by hanging from a rod in the bathroom at their home in Melparamba Kainoth. Mahima had been brought to her parents’ home in Uduma two days back.

Seeing that Mahima had jumped into a well with Shivada, her daughter, a local resident, Vijayan C K, immediately jumped into the well and held the two above water. The locals thereafter helped him till the fire brigade from Kasargod arrived and lifted the mother-child duo to safety. Both of them suffered minor injuries.
