A woman allegedly strangled her 18-month-old grandson and attempted to end life with her daughter in the apartment at Nizampet in the wee hours of Thursday.
While Lalitha, 56, died, her daughter and the boy's mother Divya, 36, survived and was shifted to a nearby hospital for immediate medical assistance where her condition is said to be stable.
Sharing more details about the suicide pact, Cyberabad’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (Madhapur Zone) K Shilpavalli said that between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m., Lalitha killed her grandson Shiva Karthikeya, and hanged herself from a ceiling fan, while her daughter followed her, as they have been upset over various family issues and slipped into depression.
