A software employee took her life after an astrologer told her that she would die. Vidya Jyoti (29) of MEI Layout, Bagalakunta, Bangalore, got married to the young man she loved just 9 days ago. However, an astrologer told her, "You will not be able to survive on earth for long. Perform pujas for these nine days. On the last day, Friday, if you take out your tali and offer it to the goddess, it will be good," she said while working from home. Frightened by his words, she performed the pujas and committed suicide by hanging herself from the fan in her room on the ninth day, Friday night.
