Bengaluru Techie Suicide Over Astrologer’s Prediction
It was reported that Vidyajyoti’s parents had recently approached an astrologer to assess the future of the marriage. The astrologer reportedly warned that the couple might experience major conflicts two years after the wedding, which could lead to separation. The astrologer recommended a nine-day religious ritual to prevent such issues. The family followed the advice and began the ritual.
A senior police officer shared that on the final day of the ritual, Vidyajyoti went into her room while her parents were away. She allegedly hanged herself from a ceiling fan. The incident was discovered in the evening when she failed to respond to repeated knocks on the door. Her father eventually forced open the door and found her hanging inside.
The Bagalagunte police have registered a case of Unnatural Death Report (UDR) and are conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
