The victim, 40-year-old M Manjula, was a homemaker and mother of two. According to police, she had been undergoing treatment for a mental illness for 18 years, while her husband, Manjunath, had also been treated for depression at NIMHANS last year. Witnesses reported seeing Manjunath take Manjula to the second floor before allegedly pushing her off. She suffered critical head injuries after landing on iron rods and construction debris. Despite being rushed to a hospital, she succumbed to her injuries.

Locals who witnessed the incident intervened, restrained Manjunath, and handed him over to the police. Authorities have taken him into custody and launched an investigation.

In another shocking case, a 28-year-old woman was brutally stabbed to death by her estranged husband near Electronics City Flyover in Hebbagodi. The victim, Sriganga, had been separated from her husband, Mohan Raju, for eight months. Raju, who frequently accused her of infidelity, attacked her outside a private school on Wednesday morning. Police had previously warned him after a harassment complaint.

Both cases highlight rising domestic violence concerns, prompting further scrutiny from law enforcement.
