Bengaluru, Jan 28, 2022: A 30-year-old granddaughter of former chief minister BS Yediyurappa has allegedly killed herself by hanging in her flat in an apartment in Vasanth Nagar in the Central Business District of Bengaluru.

The deceased has been identified as Soundarya, daughter of BSY’s daughter Padmavathi. The police said that the incident came to light around 10 am when one of the domestic helpers of the house called her husband Niranjan and informed him that they were ringing the call bell and also knocking on the door, but there was no response.

Niranjan tried reaching her on her mobile phone, but there was no response. Hence he rushed to the house and opened the door with the help of a spare key to find her in the hanging state. He, with the help of others, rushed her to a private hospital where the doctors declared her to have been brought dead.

The High Grounds police have taken up the case and her body autopsy is being carried out in Bowring hospital. Dr Soundarya was living with her nine-month-old baby and her husband Niranjan, who is also a doctor. The police said they have learned that she was married to Niranjan in 2018. As of now, police have not found a death note.

The news has shocked his family and the state BJP. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai rushed to the hospital with his cabinet colleagues to console the BJP stalwart.
