The incident reportedly happened in Telangana’s Medchal district, where the woman attempted suicide along with her two sons, aged eight and three.
The woman was identified as 30-year-old Lakshmi, the report claimed.
She jumped into a water sump with her sons. However, she survived due to the low level of water, while both her sons drowned, it was reported.
Preliminary investigations into the case suggest that family disputes may have led Lakshmi to attempt suicide.
She was later shifted to Gandhi Hospital for treatment.
Lakshmi’s husband, Laxman, works as a daily wage labourer in brick kilns.
The police registered a case, and further investigations were underway, the report stated.
In a separate incident, a 46-year-old woman died by suicide on Tuesday in Kottuvally in Ernakulam district of Kochi, after she was allegedly threatened by a moneylender.
The woman was identified as Asha from Kottuvally South in North Paravoor.
As per the FIR registered at North Paravoor police station, Asha was found drowned in a river near her home by around 3 pm.
The FIR stated that Asha had borrowed Rs 10 lakh from a woman named Bindhu Pradeep.
However, even after repaying the entire amount, Bindhu allegedly demanded more money.
Police officials said a suicide note was recovered from Asha, in which she made allegations against Bindhu and her husband, Pradeep, a retired policeman who is allegedly involved in illegal money lending.
