A 37-year-old software engineer in Hyderabad’s Miyapur dies after allegedly jumping from the sixth floor of a residential building while holding her six-month-old daughter, according to police and reports by multiple outlets. The incident is reported to have occurred on Friday at around 3:45 pm. The infant survives the fall with minor injuries and receives treatment at a hospital, with doctors later indicating the child is out of danger. One account says the baby lands on a protective fence and is found hanging from solar fence cables before being rescued, while residents rush the infant to hospital.
The woman, identified as Isha/Esha Sahu, is reportedly from Madhya Pradesh and is survived by her husband and two daughters, including an older child aged around eight. Several reports say she had been experiencing severe insomnia and anxiety for months, along with symptoms described as post-partum depression after the birth of her daughter. Police state that a case has been registered and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances that led to the incident, including whether mental distress and sleep problems played a role. The exact cause is not yet established.
