Cop’s hubby, 24, ends life over her first marriage

-

CHENNAI:A 24-year-old man ended life by consuming poison in Chengalpat­tu after he came to know that the 30-year-old woman cop he married four months back was already married and had an eight-year-old child in her first marriage.

The deceased P Yuvaraj was found near Chengalpat­tu railway station in an unconsciou­s stage on Wednesday as he had consumed poison. Though he was taken to Chengalpat­tu Medical College, he died there without responding to treatment on Saturday.

Yuvaraj, working in a private firm, fell in love with Sangeetha, 30, a policewoma­n attached to Chengalpat­tu all-women police station. The two got married with the blessings of their respective families four months ago.

But the problem between the two started after Yuvaraj came to know that Sangeetha was already married and has an eight-year-old child. Yuvaraj was upset over her alleged drinking habit, as well as with male friends.

Because of the simmering tension between the two, Yuvaraj had been staying in his relative’s house for one month and returned to his Ozhalur house only on Wednesday.

Sangeetha, who met him on those days, told him that she is being transferre­d to Vellore. He had consumed poison on that day, after leaving behind a suicide note saying Sangeetha and her male friend were the reason for his suicide.

On Sunday, the relatives of Yuvaraj protested at the Chengalpat­tu hospital mortuary seeking immediate action against those responsibl­e for his suicide. Chengalpat­tu town police are investigat­ing the case.
