Girl commits suicide in MLA's hostel room in Mumbai

A 27-year-old woman was found dead in the hostel room of an MLA in Mumbai.

Rupali Andhare, whose uncle Dilip Dhaigunde is the personal assistant to Nationalist Congress Party MLA from Madha, Babanrao Shinde, was found dead in the wee hours of Sunday. She was unmarried and was staying with her brother at the Manora MLA Hostel on the Free Press JournalRoad in south Mumbai.

According to police sources, Ms Andhare was unemployed and was suffering from depression. This, they say, could have driven her to take the extreme step.
