A 29-year-old teacher at a private school allegedly committed suicide at her house in Hyderabad after being “harassed” by two male colleagues, police said on Sunday.

The deceased science teacher hailed from Assam.

The incident took place on September 19, when the woman’s husband filed a complaint at Adibatla police station, alleging that two teachers at her school were “harassing and behaving indecently” toward her, which reportedly led her to take her own life.

The woman’s husband, who was in Assam for business, was informed of his wife’s death by the police.

In a complaint filed on September 20, her husband stated that he and his wife, who had a love marriage eight years ago, had relocated to Hyderabad from Assam, news agency PTI reported.

The complainant further accused that the duo had been harassing her for the past six months, though he had previously reprimanded them over the phone. However, he alleged that the harassment intensified after he left for Assam on September 15, ultimately leading his wife to take her own life, police said.

Following the complaint, police registered a case of abetment of suicide against the two teachers, who have been taken into custody. Further investigation is underway.

Earlier, a 55-year-old Bengaluru-based yoga teacher was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 17-year-old student several times while assuring her of placement and foreign trips, police said on Thursday.

According to The Hindu, the accused, identified as M Niranjana Murthy, is the founder and director of Sunshine The Yoga Zone at RR Nagar.
