A thirty-five-year-old woman from Bengaluru allegedly took her own life at her residence in Chandra Layout on Tuesday. The woman, identified as Anjana A Shantaveer had filed a complaint a few years ago against former Congress Minister and current BJP leader Baburao Chinchasur, accusing him of cheating her of money.   According to the police, Anjana reportedly called her son and told him that she was going to take her own life. The boy, who is a student of a private college in RR Nagar, was at his grandmother’s residence when Anjana called him at around 10.30 pm and spoke to him about her decision, citing financial difficulties.   The boy who was visiting his grandmother near Kengeri rushed home at once and took her to the hospital immediately. However, doctors declared her brought dead on arrival.   The police have stated that Anjana left behind a note, written in Kannada, apologising to her son and parents. She was a native of Hubbali district in Karnataka.   According to some reports, several bank managers had filed cases of fraud against Anjana, who had pledged the same property to multiple banks in order to obtain a bank loan.   In 2015, Anjana had filed a police complaint against BJP leader Baburao Chinchansur, accusing him of cheating her of more than Rs 11 crores. As per reports, she also had alleged that the politician was threatening her and had also filed a cheque bounce case against him. The case is yet to be heard in court.   The BJP had taken note of the issue and had even conducted a protest against the minister. However in August 2018, before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he joined the BJP.   The Chandra Layout police have registered a case of unnatural death and are currently working to figure out the reason behind her death.   If you are aware of anyone facing mental health issues or feeling suicidal, please provide help.    Tamil Nadu:  State health department suicide helpline number - 104 Sneha Suicide Prevention Centre - 044-24640050 (listed as the sole suicide prevention helpline in TN)   Telangana:   Telangana government suicide prevention toll free no - 104  Roshni- 040-66202000, 66202001 SEVA- 09441778290, 040 - 27504682 (between 9 AM and 7 PM)    Karnataka: Sahai : 24-hour helpline numbers: 080- 65000111, 080-65000222   Kerala: Maithri helpline - 0484-2540530 Chaithram helpline: 0484-2361161 Both are 24-hour helpline numbers.    Andhra Pradesh:  Life Suicide Prevention Helpline No.78930-78930  Roshni -  Helpline 1: 9166202000  Helpline 2: 9127848584
