A 22-year-old woman died by suicide in Bengaluru on Saturday, and police have registered a case against a former classmate accused of harassing and blackmailing her. The victim, Vanishree L from Shivamogga district, was found in Agara Lake in HSR Layout. In a suicide note, she named Abhishek AS as responsible for her death, stating he had been sending her videos and photos and calling her repeatedly. Both telanganatoday.com and Times of India report these facts.

Vanishree had moved to Bengaluru for work six months ago after completing her degree, and was employed at a jewellery showroom. Her roommate found the suicide note and alerted her sister Pooja, who then involved police. HSR Layout police have filed an FIR under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (abetment of suicide) against Abhishek. Investigations are ongoing.
The two outlets agree on all key details: the identity of the accused, the content of the note, and the legal section invoked. Police have said they are probing the allegations.
Both outlets report the same core facts, a woman's suicide, a named accused, and an FIR under Section 108 of the BNS. telanganatoday.com leads with the police procedural timeline and the formal complaint details, framing the story as a law-and-order incident. Times of India leads with the suicide note's direct quote and includes a helpline at the end, framing the story as personal tragedy with a public-service dimension. Neither outlet adopts a government-critical or pro-government stance, both are neutral-report. For the careful reader, the shared detail of the accused studying with the victim suggests police will examine the prior relationship. The next concrete step is the ongoing investigation under the BNS section for abetment of suicide.
