Woman techie jumps off 5th floor as boyfriend delays marriage

March 2, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 2: A 21-year-old woman is suspected to have jumped from the fifth floor of a building in DRDO Quarters in A Narayanapura, east Bengaluru, on Monday evening, shortly after a heated argument with her boyfriend who was not keen on an early marriage.

coupleNeha, who was studying engineering, was in a relationship with Vighnesh, a BCom student, for the past one year.

The couple had decided to marry. Neha, whose mother died of cancer, introduced Vighnesh to her grandfather and he consented to the marriage. Vighnesh's parents were also aware of the relationship but wanted him to focus on his studies instead, said the jurisdictional Mahadevapura police.

From then on, Vighnesh is believed to have started avoiding Neha, and the couple fought over the matter. Neha had been trying to contact Vighnesh for the past one week, but he didn't respond to her calls or text messages.

Frustrated and distraught, she went to his house around 7 pm on Monday. The police believe she wanted to make peace with him, but the couple fought again. An hour later, she darted to the fifth floor and jumped down. She bled to instant death.

A stunned Vighnesh alerted his mother who was in the house. The police and Neha's family were also alerted. The police took Neha to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Neha's father, Mallesh Reddy, who lives in Chinnappanahalli, Marathahalli, made a complaint to the police, accusing Vighnesh of abetting in his daughter's suicide. Accordingly, the police detained Vighnesh and are interrogating him.

RIP to the departed soul, I wonder why Hinduism is in its end point, day by day the population of the community is decreasing ..very sad, this is a serious matter to worry rather than producing 4-10 children, I urge all Hindu saints and Babas to convince their people to give some value for their life, otherwise Hinduism will wash out from the History..
