It may be recalled that a few days ago, a newly-married woman, K. Hemalatha, tried to kill herself by jumping into the Krishna river near Sanghamam ghat in Ibrahimpatnam, Krishna district. The NDRF personnel rescued Hemalatha and took her to the hospital. Hemalatha, a resident of Mangalagiri, reportedly decided to end her life as she was upset after she was married against her wishes. The police said that Hemalatha was married to a man from Ibrahimpatnam on 13 February. She came to her husbandās house the next day and attempted suicide.
