Police have booked a case against a man and his wife in connection with the suicidal death of a 25-year-old woman in Kundapur.

On Wednesday morning, the woman Shilpa, a resident of Uppinakudru died at the hospital where she was admitted after she consumed poison on Monday night. Following her demise, her brother lodged a police complaint against Azeez, a resident of Koteshwara and his wife Salma.
