Hyderabad: A 25-year-old woman died by suicide after allegedly escaping sexual harassment from a man at an apartment complex in My Home Bhooja, Raidurgam, on Wednesday.

According to police, the victim, a native of Odisha, died after jumping from the ninth floor of the apartment complex where he was staying in a flat owned by one Rajesh Babu. The victim’s husband was staying at another accommodation with his four-year-old son.

It was alleged that on Tuesday night, the woman called her husband and told him that Rajesh Babu (54) had sexually harassed her and was going to end his life. The victim’s husband ran into the apartment complex hoping to save his life. However, when he arrived, he found her body lying on the ground.

Based on a complaint, police registered a case against Rajesh Babu under Sections 75 (ii) and 108 of the BNS and are continuing the investigation.

Unconfirmed reports indicated that Rajesh Babu, through middlemen, brought the woman to the city from Odisha for surrogacy and kept the woman at his home. A deal of Rs. 10 lakh was fixed to the victim’s husband and a small amount was paid as advance by Rajesh Babu.

However, since the woman could not be informed of this development, she did not want to be away from her family and ended her life.
