Bangalore, Nov 29: A 26-year-old Jamshedpur based software engineer committed suicide at her PG in BTM Layout Second Stage on Monday, Nov 28.

In a suicide note that she left behind, she apologised for taking the extreme step adding no one was responsible for her death, said police.

Meanwhile, Journalist, writer Smitha Rao who worked as an Assistant Manager at Infosys Technologies Ltd, Bangalore also committed suicide at her apartment at Geddalahali owing to work pressure, revealed reports.

She later ambled into the corporate world and started her venture with Infosys in 2010 and handled the online content for the website.
