A 24-year-old homemaker hanged herself in her residence at Srigandha Nagar, Rajagopalanagar, on Saturday.
The deceased Meghana was a native of Mysuru. She was married to Manjunath, a private factory employee, two years ago and the couple have a one-and-a-half-year old child.
"After her husband went to work on Saturday, Meghana put her baby to sleep and hanged herself from the bedroom ceiling. The incident came to light when Manjunath's mother came home. She alerted neighbours and informed us," the police said. The parents of Meghana have lodged a complaint alleging dowry harassment by her mother-in-law and husband.
Manjunath has been detained for questioning, the police added. A case has been registered at the Rajagopalanagar police station.
