Dhamtari: A 35-year-old woman and her teenage daughter were found hanging in their house in Chhattisgarh's Dhamtari city, according to a police official on Thursday. The bodies of Khushbu Sharma and her 13-year-old daughter were discovered in their Shiv Chowk residence under Kotwali police station limits on Wednesday night.
Preliminary information indicates that Sharma had divorced her husband six years ago and was living with her daughter at her parental home. Recently, she lost her job as a teacher in a private school, which led to depression. The police suspect it to be a case of suicide, although the exact cause of death will be confirmed by the post-mortem report.
No suicide note was found at the spot, though prima facie it seems financial problems prompted the woman to take this extreme step, the official added.
