She had been working as a librarian for six years and left behind a death note stating the reason for her extreme step. Her family alleged that despite repeatedly approaching the authorities about the pending salary, there was no response.
The incident exposed the government's "bankruptcy", according to the BJP, which blamed the Congress-led government for the tragedy.
