Youth commits suicide after girlfriend’s father says no to marriage
HISAR: A 20-year-old youth here committed suicide by consuming some poisonous substance after his girlfriend’s father allegedly refused to give him permission to marry her, police said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Thursday but the matter came to light on Friday, after the family members of the deceased, identified as Bhanu Kumar, lodged a police complaint in this regard.
They alleged that the father of the girl, Suresh, had taken Rs 7 lakh from Bhanu, promising to get him married to his daughter, but later he went back on his word.
The police also recovered a suicide note wherein Bhanu had mentioned that the girl’s father had taken money from him.
Complainant Ashok Kumar, Bhanu’s father, a resident of Dogran colony of the town, told the police that his son sold mobiles and on Thursday when a customer came to their house, Bhanu suddenly collapsed on the floor. The youth was rushed to a hospital, where he died during treatment.
Kumar claimed that his son had consumed some poisonous substance after being cheated by the girl’s father.
Police spokesperson Harish Bhardwaj said the police registered a case under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC against Suresh, the girl’s father, and started investigations into the matter. The accused has not been arrested yet.
