Hyderabad: A shocking incident surfaced from Telangana's capital Hyderabad, where a 27-year-old woman allegedly poisoned her 10-month-old son before ending her life. The woman, identified as Sushma, took the extreme step reportedly due to a dispute with her husband.

According to a report published in NDTV, Sushma was married to Yashwanth Reddy four years ago. Reddy is a chartered accountant. According to the report, there had been regular fights between the couple in recent times.

The couple had a 10-month-old son, Yashavardhan Reddy. As per the police, Sushma had gone to her mother Lalitha's home for shopping. However, at the house, she went to a room with Yashavardhan and locked the room from inside.
