Hyderabad: In a heart wrenching incident in Warasiguda, Secunderabad, grief-stricken by their mother’s death, two young women reportedly lived with her lifeless body for nine days in their home.
The deceased mother Sri Lalitha (45) was staying in a rented house at Road number 3, Warasiguda, Secunderabad, along with her two daughters Ravalika (25) and Ashwitha (22).
About nine days ago, Sri Lalitha died under suspicious circumstances. However, her two daughters, who were upset over their mother’s death did not leave the body or the house and instead chose to stay with it for the next eight days, police said.
It is learnt that the two young women also tried to end their lives by cutting their wrists, but were unsuccessful.
The incident came to light on Friday when the neighbours sensed foul smell emanating from the house and informed the local police. On the directions of Secunderabad MLA T Padmarao Goud, the police rescued the two women and shifted them to the police station.
Based on their complaint, the Warasiguda police have booked a suspicious death case and took up investigation.
The reason for Sri Lalitha’s death is yet to be known. The highly decomposed body was shifted to the Gandhi Hospital morgue for autopsy.
