Gurgaon, April 28: A 22-year-old hardware engineer serving a term in Bhondsi jail was found hanging in the prison toilet on Friday morning. Parveen Sharma, a native of Devaria in Uttar Pradesh, had left an eight-page suicide note in which he had written his "only crime was that he was in love with a girl".Parveen had hanged himself from a hook using a blanket as the noose.

He was serving a term at Bhondsi jail for the past five months in barrack No. 7 on the charge of rape. Fellow inmates reported to jail authorities that they saw the body hanging in the prison toilet around 4.30am.A senior police officer said that he had written in his suicide note that he was in jail because he had fallen in love with a girl, who was in Class 12. He blamed the girl's family for his extreme step. In November 2011, when the girl's father denied permission for their marriage, Parveen had eloped with the girl. The girl's father lodged an FIR against Parveen alleging abduction of his daughter.

After a month, the couple were caught by the police in Ahmedabad in Gujarat. On December 15 the police arrested Parveen and a city court sent him to judicial custody."My son loved a girl in the neighborhood and they wanted to get married but the girl's family members lodged an FIR against my son charging him with rape after putting pressure on the girl. These are the circumstances under which he has ended his life and the family members of the girl are responsible for the death of my son," said Ramakant, father of the deceased man.

"A postmortem, conducted by doctors in the presence of the area magistrate, was videotaped. The body of the victim handed over to his kin and the viscera will be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory, Madhuban. A magistrate inquiry is being made into the case," said an investigator.
