PEAMBALUR: A two-month-old baby died in Perambalur in a suicide attempt by her mother.  

Police said, Saravanan (35) of MGR Nagar was married to Anbarasi (31) of Ariyalur and both were working as lecturers at a private college in Perambalur. 

The couple has two children - Hansika (4) and 2-month-old baby Megashree.

Sources said Saravanan and Anbarasi used to quarrel frequently over some familial issues.  On Wednesday evening, a heated argument broke between the two, following which Anbarasi tried to kill herself by jumping into a well with 2-month-old Megashree. 

Neighbours rescued Anbarasi and the baby, and admitted them to Perambalur district headquarters government hospital but Megashree died.

On Saturday, police registered a case and arrested Saravanan, the girl’s father. A case was also registered against Anbarasi.
