The Times of India said a suicide note was discovered, reportedly explaining that she held nobody responsible for her death and health issues had led her to take this extreme step.

The deceased reportedly hanged herself when her husband, Guruprasad and their two children were away visiting a relative's house in Haveri.

The Deccan Herald said Guruprasad tried to reach her throughout Sunday and the early hours of Monday, but there was no response.

The couple had been married for 23 years.

Chaitra's body was found by their tenants, who broke open the door on Monday morning to check on her at Guruprasad's request. The police have registered a case of unnatural death in this regard and are investigating the case further.
