A heartbreaking incident unfolded in Kurnool city, Andhra Pradesh, where a three-year-old boy spent an entire night beside his mother's lifeless body. The 30-year-old woman, identified as A Swathi, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her bedroom at an apartment in Venkataramana Colony on Saturday morning.
Reports indicate that the child repeatedly tried to wake his mother and cried through the night. In a poignant scene, the boy was found hugging and kissing his mother's feet but received no response. Exhausted from crying, the child eventually fell unconscious. Swathi, a native of Adoni, had been living separately from her husband, Ganesh, for a year due to alleged family disputes. She was residing in Venkataramana Colony with her son and her mother, Kalavathi.
On Friday night, Swathi reportedly spoke to her neighbours and also had a conversation with her mother over the phone around 10 pm. However, when she failed to open the door on Saturday morning, neighbours alerted the police. Police personnel found her body hanging from the ceiling fan upon breaking open the door. The child was lying unconscious on a stool nearby.
Police personnel managed to revive the boy by attempting to wake him. Swathi's mother, who had travelled to Hyderabad three days before the incident, was questioned by the police upon her return. Based on her claim that Swathi had been distressed over her lonely life, police registered a case and launched an investigation. The tragic incident has left residents of the neighbourhood shocked, with the circumstances in which the three-year-old spent the night beside his mother's body adding to the tragedy.
