The Story in Brief
Two Nepalese women, Srijana (22) and Rita (23), were found hanging from a tree on a deserted plot along Jakkur Main Road in north Bengaluru early Thursday, police said. The women had arrived in the city about 15 days ago for work and were employed as housekeepers. Morning walkers spotted the bodies around 6.30 am and alerted police.
Police registered a case of suspicious death. A senior officer said they are not ruling out foul play, including the possibility the women were killed elsewhere and the scene staged. Investigators are analysing call records and CCTV footage. The Hindustan Times separately reported that a 52-year-old woman's skeletal remains were found in her Bengaluru home, possibly a year after her death.
The Indian Opinion
The rush to label these deaths as suicide ignores the vulnerability of migrant workers, many of whom live without family or support networks. Police rightly say they are probing foul play, but the lack of a suicide note or clear motive should invite deeper scrutiny of employers and living conditions. The separate case of a woman whose body lay undiscovered for a year shows how isolation can turn tragedy into silence. The post-mortem and forensic reports will settle whether this was suicide or murder.
