A woman officer of central public sector company Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) allegedly killed herself in Hyderabad over harassment by a Deputy General Manager and six other colleagues. The 33-year-old Accounts Officer of BHEL took the extreme step at her residence in Miyapur area on Thursday.

The Miyapur police registered a case against the Deputy General Manager (Finance) and her six other colleagues for allegedly abetting the suicide under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.

The police registered the case on the complaint of the deceased woman's husband and took up the investigation.

According to Inspector of Police Venkatesh Shamala, the woman, who hailed from Bhopal, left behind a suicide note, in which she accused the DGM and six other BHEL employees of mentally harassing her by spying on her. She alleged that they had hacked her mobile phone and were tapping her calls.

It was also reported that she had already approached the Miyapur police over the issue, who had directed her to the cybercrime police.

"The cybercrime police had filed a petition on her request and verified whether her phones were being tapped. But they found nothing suspicious," the Inspector was quoted as saying.

The woman also alleged that some of her colleagues harassed her when she was posted in Bhopal earlier.
