Hyderabad: Two kids drowned, while their mother was rescued from the Hussain Sagar lake here after she allegedly attempted "suicide" unable to bear the alleged harassment meted out by her husband and mother-in-law, the police said on Tuesday.
Swati Agarwal, married to one Vijay Agarwal, a software engineer from Chilkalguda area here in 2006 and was blessed with a girl and a boy, the police said.
