Mumbai: A 25-year-old mother from Latur committed suicide by jumping into a well along with her five-year-old daughter as it was not possible to educate both her children in an English school due to lack of money.

Bhagyashree had lost her mother last year and was also depressed.
In which on Tuesday evening around 5:30 pm Bhagyashree went to another farm well near her farm with her daughter Samiksha and before committing suicide, she made a video call to her husband Venkat Halse and asked him to see her daughter's face for the last time. After this, both mother and daughter jumped into the well and both died. Interestingly, Bhagyashree tried to take her son Sarthak along with her while playing outside. But Sarthak went to play with his friends instead of going with his mother. That's why he survived.
