A middle-aged homemaker was allegedly found hanging at her house in HRBR Layout 1st Block, Banaswadi, on Wednesday evening.
The victim, Kavitha, 40, was married to Veeraraju who works in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. The couple have two sons, Lokesh, 24, and Prabhakar, 21.
Banaswadi police said Kavitha was married to her uncle when she was just 15 years old. Lokesh said his mother was under depression for the past several years, but did not reveal the reasons for her suffering.
He said she saw him off to work as usual on Wednesday morning, but when he returned home at about 10 pm, he found the house locked from inside. As Kavitha did not answer his calls, Lokesh grew suspicious and called a freind for help. They broke open the door and found his mother hanging from a ceiling fan in the hall.
