Mysuru: Even as the incident of a KSRP Head Constable from Mysuru killing his four-year-old autistic son and committing suicide by hanging at a lodge in Bengaluru is still fresh in the minds of people, here is another tragic incident where a well-to-do doctor couple committed suicide using a single saree from a hook of a ceiling fan as they were depressed over their only son’s death. What triggered the extreme step is a diagnosis that suggested a surgery to cure a heart ailment.
The doctors are 56-year-old Dr. Satish Kumar and his wife 57-year-old J. Veena. Satish Kumar, a native of Periyapatna taluk in the district, was an alumnus of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMC&RI) and Veena, his classmate in the same college.
