Prathibha's drastic decision
Husband discovered the tragedy
The whole incident came to light only when the husband, Mahantesh, returned home at night. His wife didn't open the door, so he used his own key to get in. Mahantesh told the police he found Prathibha's body hanging and the baby's body lying on the bed.
The death note
In her death note, Prathibha wrote: 'I had gone to the terrace to get the dry clothes. The baby must have crawled into the bathroom while playing and fell into the bucket. I couldn't save my child. I am responsible for my baby's death. That is why I am ending my life.'
