Two Women Die by Suicide in Hyderabad
Two women in Hyderabad have died by suicide.
One was a 33-year-old woman named Lanka Sri Divya, who was found dead in her home.
Her mother said she had been feeling unhappy and might have been depressed.
The other was a 27-year-old woman named Sushmita, who was found dead at her home along with her 11-month-old son, who had been poisoned.
Her sister-in-law also tried to poison herself and is in the hospital.
The police are investigating both cases.
In one case, the family says the husband was harassing her, but the police are still looking into what happened.
A 33-year-old woman, Lanka Sri Divya, was found dead in her home in Hyderabad, with depression suspected as a possible cause.
A 27-year-old woman, Sushmita, allegedly died by hanging at her residence in Meerpet, Hyderabad.
Sushmita's 11-month-old son, Ashwanth Nandan Reddy, was found dead after being administered an unidentified poisonous substance.

Police are investigating both incidents, with harassment by Sushmita's husband, Yashwanth Reddy, suspected as a possible cause.
