A heart-wrenching incident has emerged from Barshi taluka in Solapur district. In the Vani Plot area of Barshi city, a mother poisoned her young child and then hanged herself, committing suicide.

She first poisoned her son and then ended her life by hanging with the help of a saree. This incident came to light on Friday morning.
What exactly happened?
Ankita got married to Vaibhav Vikas Ukirade four years ago. At the time of the incident, all the family members had gone out for work. Ankita was alone at home with her little one. As usual, the maid who came for housework did not see anyone in the house. When she peeked through the window out of suspicion, she saw Ankita in a state of hanging from the ceiling fan with the help of a saree. Meanwhile, the little one, Anvik, was found lying on the ground in a critical condition.
Treatment underway for the child

However, his condition is still critical, and he has been transferred to a hospital in Solapur for further treatment. Currently, this little one is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit.
The reason for the suicide is still unclear
It is still not clear why Ankita Ukirade took such an extreme step. The police have conducted a spot inspection and sent the body for post-mortem examination.
