Bengaluru woman dies by suicide after fight with husband over '3-day-old sambar'

A 27-year-old Bengaluru woman reportedly died by suicide by consuming pesticide after an argument with her husband over serving three-day-old sambar.

The woman, identified as Kavya, had been married to Rangaswamy for five years and had a four-year-old child. Kavya had prepared sambar for dinner three days ago and had been reheating and serving the same dish to her husband for lunch and dinner, according to reports.

Angered by this, her husband had a fight with her on Thursday. Her husband allegedly verbally abused her and tried to assault her, reports said.

Following this, Kavya consumed a pesticide that was intended for agricultural use. As she began vomiting, her family rushed her to the hospital; however, she died on the way, the police said.

Her body was sent to a government hospital for a post-mortem. A case has been registered and further investigation into the matter was underway.
