Two lesbian women committed suicide after throwing a three-year-old child of one of them in the Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad on Monday, the police said.
The women jumped into the Sabarmati after scribbling a note along the riverfront’s concrete walkway near Ellisbridge, said an official at the Sabarmati Riverfront (West) police station. They purportedly mentioned in the suicide note that they had “distanced themselves from the world so they could unite, but the world did not let them live,” he said.
“The two women committed suicide due to complications arising out of their lesbian relationship,” the official said.
