Belthangady, May 13, 2025: An elderly woman died while her son is in a critical condition after both of them consumed excessive sleeping tablets in a suicide attempt at Mundaje on Monday.

The deceased is Kalyani (96). Her son Jayaram K (58) has been admitted to hospital in a critical condition. Jayaram is a noted folk artiste and runs an arts training centre in Mundaje.

Sucide attempt

Neighbours who found no activity in the house of Jayaram and Kalyani visited their house and found through the window that both were lying unconscious in front of the prayer room. Police were informed soon after.

A suicide note apparently written by Jayaram was found. It is learnt, debt and health issues prompted the two to attempt suicide.

It is learnt, Kalyani was bed-ridden since four years and Jayaram too was suffering from health problems. Reportedly he was worried who would take care of his mother in case he dies.

Further investigations are underway.
