A tragic incident in Prayagraj has led to a police investigation after a 21-year-old youth allegedly took his own life following his girlfriend's refusal to elope with him. The event, which has sent shockwaves through the local community, occurred under the jurisdiction of the Soraon police station on December 29.
Details of the Tragic Incident
According to authorities, the sequence of events began when the minor girlfriend of the deceased approached the police. She stated that the young man had been persistently insisting on a meeting near a canal road, but she had refused to comply. The girl revealed to the police that while her family had agreed to their marriage, she herself had insisted on waiting until after her elder sister's wedding was solemnized. This condition appears to have been a point of contention.
Desperate Calls and a Fatal Decision
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Ganga Nagar) Kuldeep Singh provided further distressing details to the media. He explained that the minor girl and the youth were in frequent telephonic contact. On the fateful evening, the young man made over 100 calls in an attempt to speak with her. However, when the girl did not arrive at the designated spot as he had hoped, the youth, in a state of despair, hanged himself.
Fearing serious trouble upon discovering what had transpired, the girl subsequently reached the location. There, she found her boyfriend's body. In a state of panic, she brought down the body and fled from the scene. Meanwhile, the family members of the youth, who were searching for him, discovered the body and informed the Soraon police.
Police Investigation and Findings
The police have launched a thorough probe into the entire matter. The postmortem report has confirmed that the cause of death was hanging, corroborating the initial observations from the scene. The statements from the minor girl are being carefully examined as part of the ongoing investigation to piece together the final hours and the motivations behind such an extreme step.
This incident highlights the severe emotional distress and pressures that can surround relationships, especially among the youth, and the devastating consequences that can sometimes follow. The police continue their inquiries to establish a complete picture of the events leading to this unfortunate loss of life in Prayagraj.
