Bengaluru girl, 19, dies by suicide after ‘argument over bedsheet’ with sister

In a tragic incident, a 19-year-old girl took her own life over a trivial ‘bedsheet’ issue in Bengaluru’s Chamarajpet area on Saturday morning.
According to a report by Times of India, the deceased, Shravya was pursuing second year BBA at a private college in Channasandra. She reportedly had an argument with her elder sister regarding a bedsheet the previous night, the report added.
When her mother knocked on her bedroom door around 6 AM and received no response, the family broke in, only to discover her hanging from the ceiling.
Police did not find a death note at the scene. Friends and gymmates noted that Shravya had been feeling distressed due to her parents’ frequent arguments, which may have contributed to her emotional state.
The Bengaluru police had registered a case of unnatural death. Probe is underway.
