Suicide bid

At Chandrayangutta, a woman journalist tried to kill herself by consuming sleeping pills.

Police said that the victim, Syeda Naheeda Quadri (37), editor-in-chief of NTQ24 News, was being abused and harassed by another journalist Syed Saleem on YouTube and other social media platforms.

“Even yesterday Syed Saleem went live on Facebook during which he abused Ms. Naheeda in filthy language and made obscene gestures. As a result she slipped into depression and resorted to the extreme step,” the victim’s daughter Syeda Nabiha told police.
